An ambitious and visionary techpreneur, Fadé Ogunro has dedicated her professional life to the pursuit of equality, opportunity, and prosperity across Africa.

In her fifteen-year career, she has been a vital part of several entrepreneurial and philanthropic organizations while maintaining a prolific voice in international media.

Currently, she is focused on promoting Bookings Africa, an on demand digital marketplace that seeks to make critically important improvements to working conditions across the continent.

With over 250,000 downloads and 85,000 active users, Bookings Africa has already helped several individuals and families earn a sustainable income; having paid over $600,000 to freelancers on the platform. Additionally, over 60% of those users are women. Helping women embrace this much needed opportunity for economic empowerment has been a point of personal pride for Fadé, who has been a steadfast advocate for women's rights for years.

It is this advocacy for women's rights that led Fadé to partner up with The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women and become the first female African to be appointed to the Foundation's Global Campaign Board and most recently the Chairperson, Africa. The Cherie Blair Foundation for Women helps release the potential of women entrepreneurs in low and middle income countries, and close the global gender gap in entrepreneurship. Since the Foundation's inception in 2008, it has directly supported over 175,000 women across more than 100 countries.
