Michael O. Oketola
Founder & chief executive
Michael is a visionary entrepreneur driven by a simple observation: too many traders and vendors lose customers and sales because of distance, limited visibility, and unnecessary middlemen. His answer is Tosi—a marketplace designed to put every Ogbomoso vendor within reach of every household, right from their phones. Through Tosi, Michael is working to make local commerce more accessible, convenient, and connected, empowering vendors to reach more customers while giving households easier access to the products and services they need.
