Expertise
Tayo Sowole is a business and revenue leader with nearly 15 years of experience building commercial teams, opening markets and helping technology businesses turn ambitious growth plans into working revenue engines. His career has taken him across e-commerce, HRTech, EdTech, SaaS and professional services, with experience spanning companies including Dealdey, SeamlessHR, Bento and uLesson.
Tayo’s perspective on growth has been shaped from multiple sides of the business. He has built sales operations, sold complex enterprise solutions, developed go-to-market strategies and led teams across sales, marketing, customer success and operations. At uLesson, his responsibilities expanded beyond sales leadership to include marketing, customer success and retention, product and P&L—experience that strengthened his understanding of how the different parts of a growing business must work together. He has built and led teams across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda, giving him practical experience of scaling across diverse African markets.
He founded Thrive Consulting to bring that operator’s perspective into consulting: helping businesses move beyond high-level recommendations to make better commercial decisions and execute them effectively.
