Olugbenga Agboola Leads Flutterwave Expansion Across Global Tech Ecosystems 
Olugbenga “GB” Agboola, co-founder and CEO of Flutterwave, remains at the helm of Africa’s financial technology revolution. Based in San Francisco and Lagos, Flutterwave is Africa’s most valuable payments technology unicorn, providing enterprise clients, small businesses, and partners with cross-border transaction solutions. The company has been growing exponentially under the energetic leadership of Agboola, with operations now spanning over 30 African countries and licensing in several jurisdictions worldwide.
The CEO has been focusing on mergers, acquisitions, and technological partnerships to establish Flutterwave as Africa’s leading financial technology enabler. Notably, recent acquisitions of open banking payments platform Mono have allowed Flutterwave to offer account-to-account payment processing, credit management and underwriting, and digital identity solutions to its commercial clients and partners. The company’s financial infrastructure now facilitates regional commerce and transactions by addressing the liquidity and processing challenges that hinder business activities and foreign direct investments in the continent.
Other African business leaders who exemplify the entrepreneurial spirit of the region include fellow fintech founder Mitchell Elegbe of Interswitch, Tayo Oviosu of Paga, and Tosin Eniolorunda of Moniepoint. Together with these dynamic personalities, Agboola helps drive Africa’s economic agenda through innovative financial technology developments.
In addition to developing institutional payment systems, Agboola remains committed to encouraging venture capital investment in the African startup ecosystem. He also promotes the continent’s most significant economic policy for regional trade and economic integration, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Lastly, he is also passionate about creating financial infrastructure and products that facilitate digital financial inclusion in emerging markets.
