Yewande Olagbende Joins Solad Power Group Board of Directors.
Olagbende joined Solad in 2018 and has since played a central role in building its Nigerian operations, establishing Solad as a recognised participant in Nigeria’s rapidly developing distributed clean energy sector and positioning it strongly within the country’s Just Energy Transition.
Her appointment to the Group leadership team is a natural progression of this work.
Under her leadership, the Nigerian business expanded its business in mini-grids, stand-alone solar systems, commercial and industrial solar, solar home systems and decentralised energy infrastructure.
It also developed the operational capability to deliver and maintain energy solutions across multiple States. Olagbende brings more than 20 years of professional experience spanning banking and energy. Before entering the energy sector, she worked with leading international financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Schroders and Barclays. Since returning to Nigeria, she has focused on developing and deploying energy solutions for unserved and underserved businesses and communities.
