CEO at Cosmikal | Cybersecurity & Technology Executive | 20+ years leading cyber-resilience, critical infrastructure protection, and technology transformation across Europe and the USA. Named to the Forbes Top 100 Most Creative People in Business (2024).

My mission is simple: to make organizations and nations more digitally sovereign and cyber-resilient at scale.

For over two decades, I've turned complex business challenges into high-performance, cost-effective technology and security strategies — defining and deploying the technologies that underpin modern connectivity and defense (5G, WiFi 7, XGS-PON, SDN, Cloud, AI, and IT systems) while designing the cybersecurity frameworks that protect them.

Along the way, turnover grew 3.5x under my leadership — from €100M to €350M in three years — as I built and scaled multicultural teams across security, technology, and operations, and oversaw critical infrastructure deployments of more than 100,000 radio, core, IT, and fixed sites. Much of that work lives where regulation meets architecture: national cybersecurity frameworks and zero-trust designs, and the implementation of ENS, NIS2, the EU Toolbox, 5G SOC, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) to strengthen 5G and Cloud security ecosystems.

A few industry firsts have been among the most rewarding: the world's first commercial quantum-safe cryptographic communication, and the founding of a Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) to receive, manage, and disclose product and service vulnerabilities. For several years, I served as Delegate Chair at ITU-T SG17 (Security), shaping international cybersecurity standards and bringing together governments, private sector, academia, and civil society around regulatory evolution and cooperation.

Today, as CEO of Cosmikal, I lead a Spanish company built on a clear conviction: that technological sovereignty is not a slogan but an architecture — on-premise, certified, and free of dependency on foreign providers.

You'll also find me speaking and lecturing at leading industry events, where I pair real-world use cases with a pragmatic, business-focused approach.

Opeyemi Adegboye (Yemi) l
Seasoned UI/UX Designer | Digital Experience Architect | Educator

With over three years of experience in UI/UX design, I specialize in creating user-centered solutions that merge functionality with aesthetics. From my early beginnings as a freelance designer to my current role as a lead UI/UX Designer at TASAfrica, I have helped businesses craft intuitive, user-driven experiences that resonate.

Previously, I worked as a UI/UX Engineer at Lights on Heights, where I spearheaded impactful projects like the My Limestone App redesign, enhancing features such as offline check-in and geolocation-enabled panic alerts. My expertise lives across design systems, usability testing, and crafting scalable solutions for web and mobile platforms.

Passionate about sharing knowledge, I've tutored over 50 aspiring designers within 25 different African countries, helping them launch careers in tech. Beyond work, I attend tech events and webinars, most recently speaking at Tech1M's webinar, "Creating Memorable Experiences through User-Centric Designs."

I believe design is more than visuals, it's about solving problems, crafting memorable experiences, and connecting people. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me learning German, playing call of duty mobile or brainstorming ideas to give back to the community through tech education.

I work at the boundary between machine learning research and semantic communication -- interested in how AI models learn to represent meaning, how much of that meaning survives when you compress or transmit it, and what breaks when you push systems to their limits.
I enjoy asking questions that sit slightly outside the obvious: how many dimensions does a model actually need? Do different architectures converge toward the same internal structure? Where does information-theoretic thinking meet deep learning in useful ways?
Outside of research, I'm an active competitive programmer and stay closely engaged with what's happening across the ML and AI space -- from model efficiency and representation learning to the broader question of how intelligence, artificial or otherwise, organises knowledge.
I'm equally comfortable in a technical deep-dive or explaining ideas to a general audience -- and I genuinely enjoy making hard concepts feel intuitive.
