African tech leader, Alex Okosi, has emerged as one of Britain’s 100 Most Influential Black People in the 2023 Power List for the second year runing. Okosi, who is the Managing Director, Emerging Markets, YouTube EMEA, received the honour at the Black Excellence Awards at the Savoy Hotel in London a few weeks ago.
The Power List is an annual event that recognises the United Kingdom’s most powerful people of African, African-Caribbean and African American heritage beyond sports and entertainment to encompass Management, Retail, the Arts, Finance, Tech, History, Academia, Fashion, Design, Politics, Law, Entrepreneurship, Social Investment and much more.
Awarded annually since 2007, the Power List, in partnership with J.P. Morgan, honours incredible men and women across a wide range of industries including business, science, technology and the arts. Each year it recognises and celebrates 100 of Britain’s most influential black people and showcases black role models to young people. Open to Black Britons wherever they live in the world and to anyone in the UK who is black, the Power List is regarded as the leading authority on issues of black influence in the UK. Alex was selected due to his contribution and his responsiveness for driving the growth of entertainment brands across Nigeria and the international scene.
