Lagos State, Nigeria, November 2025 — Olubunmi Adeyemi has begun a new chapter in his HR leadership journey as he takes on the role of Head People & Culture at FITC Nigeria. In his new mandate, he drives the organisation’s people strategy, culture integration, talent excellence, and leadership development while strengthening FITC’s position as a world-class, technology-driven learning and advisory institution serving the financial services sector across Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa.
In his most recent role at the Public and Private Development Centre (PPDC), Olubunmi spent nearly three years leading the organisation’s HR and operations function as Head of People Operations and Culture. His work was characterised by organisational transformation, culture building, and operational excellence. He spearheaded end-to-end HR strategy, talent acquisition, employee engagement, and performance management initiatives, achieving notable outcomes such as a significant reduction in employee turnover, enhanced successor readiness, and 100% implementation of HR strategies across the institution. He also played a central role in change management, OKR/KPI deployment, and implementing operational efficiency improvements of more than 50%.
Before PPDC, Olubunmi served at Adron Homes as Deputy Director of Human Resources, where he strengthened core HR frameworks across performance management, succession planning, talent readiness, leadership development, and HR governance. His work helped shape the organisation’s first people philosophy, embed culture into business strategy, and support more than 500 employees across Northern Nigeria through structured HR interventions, capability-building programs, and strong compliance practices.
Earlier in his career, he spent five years at Jubaili Agrotec as a Human Resources Generalist, managing a workforce of more than 250 employees. Here, he drove recruitment, retention, learning and development, performance management, employee relations, and HR policy enhancements, ensuring alignment with Nigerian labour law and strengthening HR operations. Prior to this, he worked with Knowlegdepool Consulting, where he contributed to staff development, HR administration, training delivery, and HR policy alignment across the organisation.
Across all his roles, Olubunmi has built extensive expertise in areas such as HR strategy, performance management, employee relations, talent development, succession planning, operations management, and culture transformation—now bringing this wide-ranging experience to FITC Nigeria as he leads the organisation’s people and culture architecture.
