We're thrilled to introduce our keynote speaker for the upcoming 37th Annual Statewide Affordable Housing Conference: Wemimo Abbey, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Esusu, Inc. Wemimo's journey from the streets of Lagos to the forefront of innovation is nothing short of remarkable. Faced with the challenge of accessing credit without a score, Wemimo and his Co-Founder embarked on a mission to revolutionize the rental industry. Their brainchild, Esusu, has redefined the way renters build credit, offering property management analytics and financial stability through rental assistance. With a recent valuation of $1 billion, Esusu stands as a beacon of innovation in the housing sector. But Wemimo's innovation extends beyond Esusu. His commitment to social impact has led to the founding of Clean Water for Everyone, providing clean water access to over 250,000 people across six countries. Additionally, his work in data analytics and mergers and acquisitions has left an indelible mark on the industry. Don't miss out on this opportunity to be part of a conference dedicated to exploring the cutting-edge innovations shaping the future of affordable housing in Florida. |
