The Team

Laolu, Action Lead at Nuvori, is a Growth, Marketing and Communications Specialist with over a decade of B2B and B2C experience across SaaS, e-commerce, technology, media, and finance. He is a member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing UK, and holds an MSc in Mass Communication and an MSc in Managerial Psychology from the University of Lagos, alongside a BSc in Public Relations and Advertising from Covenant University.

His private-sector track record spans some of Africa’s fastest-growing companies. At Jumia, Africa’s largest e-commerce platform, he led national campaigns that delivered 25% customer growth and 31% year-over-year app download growth. At Babban Gona, his storytelling work contributed to a $5 million fundraise through the UN’s IFAD, and secured organic media coverage from BBC and Stanford Social Innovation Review. At Gokada, he rebuilt the organisation’s entire communications infrastructure from the ground up, growing its media footprint by 100%. At Mano, his multi-channel strategy drove a 25% increase in app activations, a 90% customer retention rate, and the company’s highest-ever monthly GMV, while a partnership he brokered with one of Africa’s largest telecom companies doubled its revenue.

He now brings this same growth discipline to public sector work as Marketing Manager at Brighton & Hove City Council, where he led Beyond the Uniform, a campaign humanising the borough’s parking officers that won a Special Jury Award from the British Parking Association, was adopted as best practice by other local authorities across the UK, and earned national coverage from the BBC and ITV, alongside regional coverage from The Argus. His Driving Improvement Award campaign secured £5,000 in funding from PATROL and a zero-cost citywide digital billboard partnership, while a redesigned parking tariff he launched delivered a measurable uplift in car park usage across the city.

Laolu also runs Rogue & Render, his own independent content brand built entirely on AI-driven production, giving him hands-on fluency across the AI toolset that modern marketing teams increasingly rely on, including Claude, ChatGPT, and Microsoft Copilot for content and workflow, and Luma AI, OpenArt AI, Nano Banana, and Seedance for image and video generation. It’s this practical, tools-first experience, not theoretical knowledge, that he brings to Nuvori’s AI Strategy offering.

Imisiayo, Senior Partner at Nuvori, is a UK-based education strategist with over a decade of experience spanning foundational learning, structured pedagogy, monitoring and evaluation, and outcomes-based financing. Her work sits at the intersection of rigorous evidence and practical delivery, shaping how organisations design and measure learning at scale.

She previously served as Global Learning Innovation Director at NewGlobe Education, where her remit spanned seven countries, giving her a rare vantage point on what works, and what doesn’t, when education strategy meets real-world constraints across diverse contexts.

Her academic grounding runs deep. Imisiayo holds an MA from the Centre for International Education at the University of Sussex, including a published dissertation chapter, work that continues to inform the frameworks and methods she brings to consultancy engagements today.

She maintains active consultancy work across African education, bringing together structured pedagogy, monitoring frameworks, and financing models into strategies that are as practically deliverable as they are evidentially sound.
