MEET OUR SPEAKER
On Thursday, 20th August, 2026, our Women in AI fellows will sit down with someone who is building the career path they aspire to.
Sanni Shazily Oladipupo Sanni Shazili is a Software and AI Engineer with a deep commitment to innovation across Africa. He co-founded Teenovatex Labs, a space dedicated to helping young people across the continent build, learn, and lead through technology. His vision is clear: age is never a barrier to creating something meaningful.
His work speaks for itself. As a 6x hackathon winner, his most significant achievement came at GTCO Squad Hackathon 3.0, where his team built Recivo, a multilingual AI platform solving real verification and trust challenges for millions of informal workers. That win brought home 2nd place and ₦3 million, proving that building with purpose drives results.
As women growing into careers in AI and technology, understanding what it takes to navigate competitive spaces and build solutions that matter is invaluable. Having access to someone who has done this work, mentored others, and scaled impact is exactly what your growth needs.
Career growth in tech is not just about technical skills. It is about understanding what the industry values, learning from those already making an impact, and building the clarity to pursue your path with intention.
We look forward to the conversations, the insights, and everything our fellows will take away from this session.
