Olumide Fayankin is the Co-founder and Chief Operations Officer of Vendease, a B2B food supply chain marketplace headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria. He established the agricultural technology company alongside co-founders Tunde Kara, Gatumi Aliyu, and Wale Oyepeju to address systemic inefficiencies and eliminate excessive intermediaries within the regional food distribution network. In his executive operational leadership role, Fayankin oversees a digital platform that directly connects local restaurants and food service businesses with independent farmers and large-scale commercial manufacturers. The enterprise provides integrated logistics support, comprehensive inventory management software, and specialized lending services to streamline complex procurement processes for regional hospitality businesses. Drawing from early exposure to operational challenges within his family's own commercial enterprise, Fayankin currently focuses on scaling B2B e-commerce platforms and modernizing logistics infrastructure across the broader West African agricultural and food technology sector.
