Adelanwa (Ade) Adesanya felt a calling to entrepreneurship.
He grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, watching his father's entrepreneurial pursuits meaningfully impact his employees and other people's lives.
Inspired to start his own entrepreneurial journey, he decided to take on the leading cause of death in the U.S. — heart disease.
Ade co-founded Moving Analytics, a healthcare technology company that provides cardiovascular disease management programs for patients.
In this episode of The Empowered Challenger, Ade shares his efforts to change the healthcare industry by reducing as much as 40% of cardiovascular-related medical expenses. He also discusses how he identified and broke down long-standing barriers to care — ones that have persisted for nearly 80 years — and how his own personal activism supports entrepreneurs of color.
