Strategic Growth: Adeyeye Recognized for Enterprise Systems Innovation

At a distinguished gathering honoring trailblazers in business and enterprise, Oluwaseyi Adeyeye was awarded the Technology Venture Leadership Award by the Business & Enterprise Awards. This recognition highlights his outstanding contributions to business innovation and operational transformation, particularly through his work in redefining how African enterprises scale sustainably using digital infrastructure.

Through his strategic direction, the company, Worka, has emerged as a leading force in enterprise systems innovation, providing digital infrastructure that enables small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) to grow with structure, resilience, and clarity. In a business environment often characterized by fragmentation and volatility, it delivers the kind of internal coherence and visibility that most African SMEs lack but desperately need.

By connecting critical business functions, from procurement and finance to customer operations, into one synchronized system, the company addresses the operational gaps that often derail sustainable growth. It empowers growing businesses to run as unified, data-driven entities capable of adapting to real-time challenges without losing control.

In his acceptance speech, Adeyeye emphasized the collective effort behind the company’s success: “This award is a testament to the dedication, resilience, and unwavering belief of my incredible team. We saw challenges not as roadblocks but as opportunities to create something truly transformative. Worka’s growth was born out of a shared vision to empower businesses, unlock potential, and drive lasting success.”

His leadership reflects a fundamental shift in how enterprise growth is understood, one that prioritizes systems over hustle. By giving organizations the tools to scale intentionally and operate intelligently, he has set a new benchmark for what business infrastructure can look like in Africa. His approach moves away from improvisation and toward long-term value creation, proving that structure is not a constraint, it’s a competitive advantage.

The Technology Venture Leadership Award affirms the lasting impact of his vision. It demonstrates how purpose-built infrastructure, when paired with strategic clarity, can not only transform business outcomes but also elevate entire ecosystems. Under his leadership, the company continues to push boundaries, shape conversations, and build the operational foundations of a more resilient future for African enterprises.
