Nigerian logistics company, Gokada, has appointed a new CEO to lead the company in its effort to expand beyond the country.
Olutosin Oni, the new CEO, was formerly managing principle for investments and portfolio management at EchoVC Partners, a venture capital firm that made investments in 36 technology-focused businesses across five continents.
In an announcement shared on LinkedIn, he said “After almost 5 fantastic years at EchoVC investing in tech and tech-enabled businesses across Africa, I am excited to join Gokada as CEO. I am raring to work with the board and team of Gokada to build Africa’s premier last-mile solutions provider, starting in Lagos, Nigeria.”
After the logistics company established a partnership with Octamile to provide digital insurance to cover their “pilots,” merchants, and customers, Oni was appointed to succeed outgoing CEO Nikhil Goel.
