In 2016, Ayodele quit teaching after 16 years, because his desire to become a teacher-leader wasn’t nurtured by his administration. Now, he designs leadership development spaces for Black Male Educators.
As Senior Partner, Education with CommunityBuild Ventures (CBV), Ayodele channels his 20+ years of working in public, private and international schools, to support schools and districts in remedying and reversing the educational inequities our students, parents, caregivers, teachers, staff and community members experience everyday.
