“I recently had the pleasure of attending a conference at “Said Business School” in Oxford. Ayo is an articulate speaker who exudes a natural confidence and air of authority. I enjoyed his style immensely. He was speaking on the issue of "Is African Next?" and was clearly well informed and well respected on this topic. I would definitely recommend Ayo as an expert speaker.”
