A seasoned marketer with a knack for innovation, Balogun’s legacy extends to key roles at prominent companies. From heading marketing efforts at HMD Global to driving marketing activities across West Africa for Microsoft, his expertise has redefined brand narratives and engagement strategies.

As Senior Manager of Product Marketing for West and Central Africa, Nokia, he expertly crafted consumer value propositions, messaging, and positioning for a wide range of products. He also excelled in driving the success of Nokia’s services and store within the West Africa area, fostering engagement and maximizing product life-cycle impact.

Balogun’s leadership extends beyond corporate roles. As Partner Manager for Developer Experience at Nokia, he played a pivotal role in nurturing brands and developer partnerships across West and Central African markets. His strategic acumen and ability to manage processes ensured partners’ success and the growth of Nokia’s ecosystem.

His journey began as a Software Development Engineer at IL-Systems Limited, where he honed his skills in software development, support, marketing, and sales. This foundation laid the groundwork for his dynamic career journey marked by innovation and transformation.

Olumide Balogun’s journey of excellence is underpinned by education and a hunger for growth. Armed with an MBA from Imperial College London and a Harvard Business School Online Diploma in Sustainable Business Strategies, he embodies a commitment to continuous learning and strategic thinking.

In a recent announcement of a N1.2 billion Google grant to Mind the Gap in partnership with Data Science Nigeria and the Creative Industry Initiative for Africa, Balogun stated: “Today, in my first official act as Director for West Africa, I’m deeply honoured to announce a 1.2 billion Naira Google.org grant to Mind the Gap in partnership with Data Science Nigeria and the Creative Industry Initiative for Africa. This initiative will empower 20,000 Nigerian women and youth, and contribute to the President’s goal of creating 1M digital jobs in Nigeria.

This is a testament to our shared vision of a digitally adept Nigeria. Beyond just training, it’s about lighting the spark of innovation, nurturing dreams, and laying the foundation for countless success stories.”

In his role as Google’s Director for West Africa, Olumide Balogun steps onto a platform where he can drive transformative change and innovation.

The appointment of Olumide Balogun as Google’s Director for West Africa stands as a beacon of Google’s goal to enhance innovation and foster growth. Balogun’s journey, marked by strategic brilliance and a passion for transformation, promises to be a chapter of progress, collaboration, and remarkable achievements as he steps into the role following the recent exit of Dr. Juliet Ehimuan as Google’s first Africa Director and a prominent figure in the tech landscape.
