‘I have taken this decision to step down as the CEO of Crowdyvest as a result of the new investment in the company which gives it good footing foor scale. Today, Crowdyvest is exiting fully from EMFATO Holdings and we are happy about the new investors led by Tope, and excited to see how Tope will lead this business to new heights. I will focus more on leading Farmcrowdy and Plentywaka as CEO of both companies into new markets in 2021. Tope is a strong and amazing leader and I see her leading Crowdyvest to become one of the leading wealth management companies in Nigeria within the next three to five years. I wish her and the team all the best and will continue to advise them on their journey when needed’, Onyeka Akumah; former CEO of Crowdyvest said while speaking on the new development.
