Ladi Delano: An Alumnus with a Vision

Ladi Delano, a proud two-time alumnus of the Saïd Business School at Oxford (MSc in Major Programme Management, 2018; Postgraduate Diploma in Global Business, 2016), has turned his academic accomplishment into a legacy. In 2014, he co-founded Grace Lake Partners (GLP), an investment firm with a dual mission to address societal needs in Nigeria and create economic value. His passion for education and Nigeria’s progress materialised through the GLP Cares Foundation, which has been instrumental in providing full scholarships for Nigerian scholars.
