On the hindsight of globetrotting and two decades in finance, Adetilewa Owodunni, General Manager of Dulles Lifestyle made a discovery that true fulfillment lies in hospitality, Vanessa Obioha writes.
Adetilewa Owodunni looks every bit the finance executive. He is stylish, articulate and composed. Only the glittering stud in his ears hints at a personality that enjoys life beyond the rigid structures of the corporate world.
Owodunni does not hide this side of himself. In fact, he readily admits that he enjoys having a good time. Perhaps that explains why, after more than 20 years in finance, he chose to pivot into hospitality, an industry he says aligns more closely with who he truly is.
During a recent visit to Dulles Lifestyle, the fast-rising restolounge shaping contemporary nightlife culture in Lagos where he now serves as General Manager, Owodunni reflected on his journey from banking halls and revenue systems to curating nightlife experiences.
With a degree in Banking and Finance and an MBA in Banking and Financial Institutions, he built a diverse career across the financial services ecosystem. His professional journey took him across marketing, insurance, fintech and public-sector revenue administration.
