Oliver Fortune Chikodzore

CEO, The African Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre
South Africa

Oliver Fortune Chikodzore is an entrepreneur, who specializes in thought-leadership and strengths-based personal development. He is an abstract thinker, yet also a concrete theorist of note. This is evident in his articles and his works in various thought-leader platforms, in which he has held presentations and lectures through Project Management South Africa (PMSA) and Cape Media Corporation.

Currently, he is the Chief Executive Officer of The African Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre: an initiative that helps uplift the youth in struggling communities and mobilize the future of African development and economic growth.

A fervid entrepreneur at heart, Oliver speaks professionally on leadership, innovation change and creating a high-performance culture. Oliver believes the blueprint to building a successful business lies in getting four key pillars right: the quality of its leadership; its ability to innovate strategically and creatively; its proficiency at managing change intelligently; and lastly, the degree to which it can embed a high-performance culture in people, especially in identifying critical aspects in high-pressure situations.
