Invite Ajoke to speak

Ajoke accepts a limited number of invitations each year to speak, host or moderate at events where business, finance, technology and policy leaders meet. Her talks draw on a decade of selling to the most exacting buyers in financial markets, and on her advisory work with growth companies.

Topics

What Ajoke speaks about

Every talk returns to a single thread: how companies win and grow complex, high-value B2B revenue. Each can be tailored to the audience and the format.

  1. Selling to the most demanding buyers

    What a decade of selling data and technology to tier 1 and tier 2 banks and global asset managers teaches any company about trust, timing and process.

  2. From founder-led sales to a sales function

    When founders should step back as principal salesperson, and how to hand over selling without losing momentum.

  3. Going upmarket

    How growth companies, including those from Africa and other emerging markets, secure their first enterprise and global clients.

  4. Listen first, then lead

    What a counselling education taught her about commercial leadership, coaching and high-stakes conversations.
