In 2023, I served as Partnerships & BD Lead for Black Tech Fest, held at Magazine London. Black Tech Fest 2023 was a three-day festival (in London and online), celebrating Black culture, innovation, and talent within the technology industry. The event was organized by Colourintech, and its theme for 2023 was “Black Is Future.” (More details here: Black Tech Fest 23 recap.)

I led sponsorship and partnership strategy, securing collaborations with brands such as GSK, Lloyds, and Trainline during Black History Month. The festival welcomed over 5,000 attendees across three days, creating a powerful platform for innovation, culture, and representation in tech. A personal highlight was meeting Jackie Aina, whose impact continues to inspire.

Beyond the fest, I partnered with HelloFresh, Captify, SumUp, and Citi to deliver bespoke events that fostered meaningful engagement and impact. In 2024, I continued this trajectory by leading sponsorships for Black Tech Fest 2024, securing partnerships with AutoTrader, Clifford Chance, and the BBC.
