Hi
I am
Adebowale
As a first-generation Nigerian American and globalist, I’m driven by solving challenging problems that elevate global communities. With over 15 years of experience in Procurement, Sourcing, and Product Management, I’m currently a Sr. Technical Product Manager working on Sourcing Platforms at Amazon, where I develop solutions that enhance the sourcing experience for internal employees.
Beyond my professional work, I’m passionate about fostering connections, empowering future leaders through mentorship, and exploring the future of Africa. My diverse experiences as a Board Member, Fractional Product work, and Angel Investor have deepened my commitment to creating pathways for innovation and growth. These days, I’m remaining curious, and learning out loud by writing, exploring partnerships, and building.
Happy you’re here.
