Tayo
Osiyemi
“Tayo advises Crimson Oak on operating discipline and enterprise growth, drawing on close to two decades building and running trading, sourcing, and education businesses in Nigeria.”
Tayo is a value focused business executive who has spent his career leading teams through growth and transformation, across sourcing and trade, educational and office supplies, workwear, and humanitarian relief.
He is Chief Executive Officer of SKLD, an international trade and development company, and President of Harde Business School, a platform he pioneered to make practical business education and professional development accessible to African operators.
At Crimson Oak he brings an operator's lens to the board: how supply chains actually behave, how process and project discipline convert strategy into delivery, and how founder led companies build the management depth institutional capital expects.
