Global Architectural Visionary Olajumoke Adenowo Joins Flutterwave’s Board of Directors

Flutterwave, Africa’s leading payments technology company, has announced the appointment of Olajumoke Adenowo, known as Africa’s Starchitect, to its global Board of Directors.

With a stellar reputation as a global transformational leader and business builder, Olajumoke will play a crucial role in Flutterwave’s journey to solidify its pan-African and global positioning.

As the Principal Architect of AD Consulting, a globally recognized architectural firm, Olajumoke has a successful career spanning over 35 years.

She has led and overseen a large portfolio of landmark projects locally and internationally, using innovative thinking to solve complex problems.

With a wealth of experience, Olajumoke’s steadfast dedication to excellence is forged through resilience and perseverance, mirroring the principles that underpin Flutterwave’s remarkable trajectory over the past seven years.

She brings a formidable network of decision-makers and professionals worldwide, which will bolster Flutterwave’s strategic focus on multinational collaborations.

Olajumoke has served on boards of multiple companies and initiatives, including the International Federation of Interior Architects and Designers GAP Jury, and has been recognized with prestigious accolades such as the 2024 Forbes Woman African Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

Olajumoke’s success in male-dominated spaces reflects the spirit that defines Flutterwave’s approach to revolutionizing the payments landscape.

Her contributions also extend beyond business; she is rooted in her heritage while her journey from early childhood fosters a global outlook.

Through her latest book, “Neo Heritage: Defining Contemporary African Architecture,” she became the first African and First black architect published by Rizzoli, a testament to her influence in shaping narratives beyond borders.

In her role as Flutterwave’s first independent non-executive board member, Olajumoke will draw on her personal paradigm derived from her African heritage and global exposure to bolster the mission of bridging Africa with the world’s markets.
