What does data have to do with diversity, entrepreneurship, and changing the game for underrepresented founders? A lot, if you’re Cecil Adjalo.

Cecil is the Co-Founder and COO of Foundervine, an organisation reshaping how large corporates engage with diverse, early-stage entrepreneurs. His unconventional journey, from aspiring med student to data-driven leader, is fuelled by purpose and determination.

In this candid conversation with Tanya and Gordon, Cecil shares:

• The behind-the-scenes story of building Foundervine
• Why sales is a skill we’re all using (even when we don’t realise it)
• How equity and inclusion fuel his leadership
• The impact of bias, and how he faces it head-on
• How data became his superpower in business

If you’re looking for real talk on purpose, resilience, and breaking through your own limits, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
