Abiola Oke is the kind of leader who makes you pause, lean in, and listen. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, and now based in New York, Abiola’s journey is one that spans continents, cultures, and causes.

What makes it even more powerful is the way he’s never lost sight of his roots while boldly shaping the future.

As CEO of Adisa Consultants, he’s steering a firm that blends business, media, entertainment, and technology. It’s more than strategy, it’s storytelling with purpose.

He’s been helping brands and visionaries navigate the complex terrain of modern business while keeping authenticity at the core. But this isn’t his first rodeo.

Back when he led OkayMedia, the powerhouse behind OkayAfrica and Okayplayer, he was already shifting the culture.

Under his leadership, those platforms became global voices for African and African-American creatives, working with heavyweights like Uber, Nike, Disney, Apple, the NBA, and more. That kind of work doesn’t just get noticed, it inspires movements.

But what really sets Abiola apart is his heart. He’s not just a business leader, he’s a builder of people, communities, and hope.

He serves as Board Chair for FACE Africa, a nonprofit focused on providing clean water and sanitation to rural communities across Sub-Saharan Africa. And he doesn’t just show up in name, he shows up in action.

He’s taken the stage at places like Stanford, Oxford, and Columbia to speak on business, tech, media, and African culture, bringing wisdom and warmth to every room. And people are listening.

He’s been featured on CNN, BBC, BET, Al Jazeera, and Black Enterprise, not because he seeks the spotlight, but because his work demands it.

The recognition has followed. In 2018, he was named one of the Most Influential People of African Descent. He was awarded Amplifier of the Year by Amplify Africa.

In 2023, the New York State Senate honored him with a Proclamation for his service to New Yorkers through FACE Africa.

He’s also been featured in Black Enterprise Magazine, recognized as Volunteer of the Year at the We Are Stronger Charity Awards in 2025, and received the prestigious John H. Finley Award from the Alumni Association of The City College of New York for exemplary service to the city.

Abiola Oke is a man of substance, soul, and strategy. He represents what’s possible when vision meets action, when culture meets commerce, and when purpose leads the way.

He isn’t just a man building a legacy. He’s building bridges that others will walk across for generations.
