Business and Career Background

Originally trained as an engineer and project manager, Sunny’s interest in leadership concepts started early in his career. While working in multinational corporations in Africa in the early 1990s, he noticed the autocratic, command and control style of leadership that was the order of the day. Thinking that there had to be a better way to lead and motivate people, Sunny started searching for enduring leadership principles. With what he learned, Sunny applied basic concepts of leadership to effectively connect and lead his team.

During his 25+ year technical career, Sunny’s approach to leadership facilitated many key wins, primarily from his ability to improve team dynamics and build trust to drive project revenue and success. Sunny has experienced the struggles faced by many technical professionals in the area of leadership, and his subsequent growth and success that followed gave him a passion for enabling others to do the same.

Sunny earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Ibadan and a Master of Engineering Management degree from Washington University in St. Louis. He is a certified Emotional Intelligence coach, using the EQ-i2.0 suite of assessments (including EQ-360), and holds a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. Sunny is also a coach and speaker with the John Maxwell Team and actively involved with Toastmasters International. He is a board member of two non-profit organizations, including one that helps develop the next generation of engineers and leaders in Africa, South America and other developing countries.
