Jide's Bio

I didn’t set out to build products.

For the longest time, I imagined myself as an Astronaut. I wanted to go to space - I still want to go to space but as life would have it, I got my first stint at building a product back in 2013 and I have never looked back since then.

I explored some other career paths in sales, business development and customer success but I always found my way back to building and shipping products but these paths shaped my love for the end users of platforms and products I build/manage.

While meeting several business targets, goals and metrics, it is also important to craft unique user experiences with data as the back-bone of every decision.

Over the years, I have recorded some remarkable failures but I also have some outstanding successes. I have sold 2 startups at a small scale and worked across multiple business industries but in recent times, I have been exploring web3, metaverse, IoT and several gaming projects.

Testimonial

“We needed to validate our ideas, market-size, customer-market fit and other important metrics and there was Jide telling us not to waste our time or effort on our light bulb idea! A few weeks and some global updates later, we realized we had made the best decision not to go with our emotions. Till date, I always get his counsel before building anything!”
