About this listen
This episode features Rotimi Williams, a former banker and journalist, turned rice farmer, tech entrepreneur and artist.
We catch up with him and discuss his transition from a conventional career in financial services at a leading Nigerian bank to becoming the CEO of Kereksuk Rice Farm, Nigeria’s second largest commercial rice farm. Rotimi speaks of how he turned a disappointing fund-raising transaction into a remarkable opportunity as a self-taught rice farmer.
We also discuss RESOLUTE4.0, a tech firm which he founded in 2018 to address some of the rampant security challenges posed to many farmers and cattle-herders in Nigeria, as well as his interest-turned-career as an artist whose works have been exhibited at art galleries such as @retroafrica .
In the final part of the podcast, we talk about his other passions, lessons learned along the way and future plans.
We found this chat interesting and inspirational.
