Crowdyvest Limited, an impact-driven fintech platform that launched in 2019, has announced a significant leadership change.
Also, the company attracts additional investments in order to scale up as a digital savings company.
Crowdyvest was established to provide all-in-one financial solutions for individuals and companies.
In order to achieve short- and long-term objectives while promoting impactful growth in line with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
In August 2019, the Fintech business went live in beta.
But in January 2020, it launched fully as a crowdfunding platform.
Today, the company announced that Onyeka Akumah would step down as CEO of Crowdyvest.
However, Tope Omotolani, who is currently the Managing Director and a co-founder, will take over as the new CEO of the startup, effective immediately.
Despite the change in leadership, Crowdyvest’s management and staff will remain in place.
Under Tope’s leadership, Crowdyvest will fully exit the EMFATO Holdings group.
As a result of the new investment, as well as transition from its previous crowdfunding model to being the go-to digital wealth management and savings platform.
In response to this development, Onyeka Akumah said:
“I have decided to step down as CEO of Crowdyvest as a result of the new investment in the company, which gives it a strong footing for scale.
Today, Crowdyvest is completely exiting EMFATO Holdings.
Moreover, we are delighted with the new investors, led by Tope.
Likewise, we are eager to see how Tope can carry this company to new heights.
I’m going to concentrate more on Farmcrowdy and Plentywaka now.
Tope is a strong and inspiring leader.
And I believe she will lead Crowdyvest to become one of Nigeria’s leading wealth management firms in the next 3-5 years.
I wish her and her team the best of luck on their journey, and I will continue to advise them as needed.”
“It’s an honor and a privilege for me to be able to lead the team to the next level and next chapter of the business.”
Said Tope Omotolani, the new CEO.
Onyeka has built the company on the principles of integrity and high customer satisfaction.
And I am honored to have the opportunity to continue to lead this technology company into its next chapter.
As Crowdyvest, our main goal and focus is to see a lot of people become financially independent.
Which we can do thanks to the products we create on the platform.”
