Fatimah Bamisedun is a professional known more for her impact than her visibility. In an interview with Priscilla Iwedike, she discussed her upbringing and cross-sector innovation work.
Key Message at London Olympia Expo
Bamisedun spoke at the Business Innovation and Future Tech Expo at Olympia London, focusing on how cross-sector innovation is constrained not by technology but by system connectivity. Her message centered on interoperability across industrial and digital environments as a key productivity driver.
Work with World Economic Forum
As a former Regional Community Champion for the Global Shapers Community in Nigeria from 2022 to 2023, she translated WEF digital skills frameworks into practical implementation, particularly in Lagos. She has applied similar approaches in the UK to move from strategy to national-level impact.
ANRE Solutions and the Problem of Fragmentation
Bamisedun is currently working on ANRE Solutions Ltd, which addresses fragmentation across industrial and digital systems. The company structures data and processes to enable effective interoperability between sectors, reducing inefficiencies caused by disconnected systems.
Interoperability, in practice, means different systems can exchange and use data consistently without manual translation. Advanced implementations include regulatory classification infrastructure that transforms industrial by-products from disposal costs into tradable commodities.
Background and Career Path
She studied Industrial Chemistry, providing a foundation in complex physical systems. She then worked at KPMG on large-scale transformation in Energy and FMCG sectors, gaining exposure to technology and IT enablement. She later studied International Business with a focus on Strategic Partnerships and Sustainability.
Her career spans sectors due to a consistent focus on systems-level challenges, connecting industry, data, and organisations.
Industry Exposure and Future Outlook
Bamisedun has visited advanced manufacturing environments like UKBIC and engaged with EV, renewable energy, and materials technology. She believes industry is moving toward embedded intelligence through AI and automation, with the key challenge being effective system integration.
Hearing former Ghana Vice President Muhammad Bawumia discuss interoperability at the University of Cambridge Africa Business Summit in 2025 reinforced her direction.
Advice for Aspiring Tech Professionals
She advises starting with a real problem, using technology as a facilitator, focusing on leverage, and being serious about the problem to solve.
