THINK is a free live workshop series for senior leaders, founders and business owners who understand that the next advantage belongs to those who think. Session 2 puts you in a room with the man who has spent a decade building Africa's talent infrastructure.
You are good at what you do. You have the results to prove it. And you still have a quiet feeling that what got you here may not be enough for what is coming.
Most of us learned to solve problems by working harder and moving faster. Now the tools around us are changing quicker than any of us can work. Your team is asking questions you do not have answers to yet. Your clients, your competitors and your own children are all using technology you are still catching up on.
The leaders who look calm about this are usually the ones who stopped to think. THINK gives you a few hours to do that, alongside people who have actually built things.
Founding Partner, Future · Leader, Talent Nation
Iyinoluwa Samuel Aboyeji Jr., OON, is the Founding Partner of Future, an innovation fund with a vision to bring purpose and prosperity within everyone's reach.
His mission is to help young people find meaningful work and to end Nigeria's youth unemployment in his lifetime.
He has spent over a decade working on that problem from different angles. Each venture he has built or backed is a different answer to the same question: how does a continent turn its people into its greatest advantage?
Today he leads Talent Nation, a movement to build the world's largest AI engineering workforce from Nigeria over the next decade. He is also a member of Nigeria's Presidential Council on Industrialization and Competitiveness, and an Officer of the Order of the Niger. He lives in Lagos with his wife and child.
A decade of work on a single problem.
Trained and deployed African software engineers to work for the world.
Connected African businesses to the global economy.
Backs founders who are turning the continent's biggest challenges into global solutions.
A movement to build the world's largest AI engineering workforce from Nigeria over the next decade.
Why build this now, and what it says about where Africa's digital economy is going.
What corporate leaders and their teams should prepare for, and the mindset they will need.
What changes when AI engineers are trained at scale, and what leaders should do differently.
For those who have built and those just starting: in their leadership, in what they build, and in how they build it.
Thinking is a system you build into your life or work. You keep reconsidering the ideas, the market and the technology until you reach an answer that solves the problem in front of you, without damaging anything on the way.
This is not a webinar to leave running in a background tab. It is a working conversation for people who intend to act on what they hear.
Iyin has built Andela and Flutterwave, backs founders through Future, and now leads Talent Nation. You hear the thinking from the person doing the work, not a commentary on it.
An AI engineering workforce built at scale from Nigeria changes the market. Understanding it before it arrives is the advantage.
Leave with a clearer view of what corporate leaders and their teams should prepare for, and the mindset the moment requires.
High performance is being redefined. Learn what changes, and what leaders should do differently, before it is obvious to everyone.
Whether you have built before or are just starting, hear what founders should seek in their leadership, in what they build, and in how they build it.
Sit alongside senior leaders, founders and people leaders who are asking the same questions. It costs nothing, and seats are limited.
Each session brings one serious voice and one serious question. Together they build a body of thinking for leaders in an AI-accelerated world.
A conversation on identity in an AI world.
What AI engineering at scale means for organisations, high performance and founders.

Successful, capable and quietly aware that effort alone will not carry the next decade.
Those who have built and those just starting, who want to build in the right direction.
