Bunmi Asaolu was born in Ile-Ife, Nigeria in 1980 but joined the brain drain out of Nigeria in 1996 with his family. After completing his Chemical Engineering degree at Imperial College London, the allure of the City of London was stronger than working at a chemical plant. So, he wrote investment research on European technology companies for a few years at the now infamous Lehman Brothers until its collapse in 2008. Post-Lehman, he pivoted to advising investment managers in Europe, South Africa and the United States on Nigeria. He has a life outside banking, though. He sings and plays the keyboard for his church band, and with his wife, Tosin, helps reduce the global divorce case count by counselling young married couples. In his spare time, he forcefully schools their three children in Mathematics.@thebunmiasaolu (Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube)www.bunmiasaolu.com See less
