Meet Olaide Adepoju, Fiter’s new secret weapon in the Nigerian financial market. Olaide has joined Fiter as a Sales Manager and is responsible for business development and sales. Olaide is married and resides in Nigeria, and is fluent in both English and Yoruba from Southwest Nigeria.
With over 11 years’ experience as a Fintech Sales professional and a background in Computer Engineering, her superpowers of relationship management and driving growth, and the understanding that people management, a customer-centered product and stellar customer service are the secrets to successful partnerships, Olaide is ahead of the curve when it comes to generating new business and taking existing customer relationships to the next level.
Olaide was initially drawn to Fiter’s values which align perfectly with her own and make for a truly seamless integration within the office. Since joining Fiter, Olaide finds the Fiter team spirit to be a huge motivator for her on the job, and truly makes for a “the sky’s the limit” work environment, even when dealing with demanding go live customer timelines or the challenges that come with being at the forefront of Fintech Open-Source solutions.
Olaide thrives on converting leads to relationships as well as networking and meeting new customers.
When Olaide isn’t hard at work bringing in sales, she loves to spend time with family, especially since having reunited with her brother after five long years. Olaide is somewhat of an oxymoron, being a self-proclaimed introvert, yet looking forward to meeting new people every day. Between human interactions on the job and with family, Olaide enjoys surfing the web and discovering new things as well as a good binge on Netflix or vibing to Hip Hop or R&B music. A nice meal of plantain and eggs and a good Liverpool game have also been known to put a smile on Olaide’s face.
And while other Fiter team members we’ve talked to thus far are fans of winter and snow, Olaide is more of a rain person, preferring Nigeria’s rainy season! How’s that for a well-rounded team?
Were Olaide to ever pack for a deserted island, her 3 must-haves would be a sleeping mat, power pack and fresh juice. Olaide believes in living each day as if tomorrow depends on it, which has become her slogan for both work and life in general.
But until such time when Olaide finds herself on a deserted island or visiting her other great love, New York City, her favorite social media platform is LinkedIn hands down. You can find Olaide on LinkedIn discussing everything Open-Source and core banking solutions. And if you want to witness the definition of “speed” live, just send her a message via LinkedIn and Olaide will respond in less than 60 seconds!
