Akua Okunseinde, MBA

Entrepreneurship Expert

A session with me is like…
A productive catch-up with a friend who can validate your business idea and provide concrete next steps to support your launch.

One life experience that helps me relate to my clients is…
My experience transitioning from a successful corporate career to entrepreneurship while raising two young children.

Three things I want clients to feel post-session are…
Organized, empowered and excited.

Past experience that qualifies me for this role is…
Over 15 years, I had a successful corporate career in sales at global companies such as Bank of America, American Express, and Google in New York City and London. I have an MBA from Columbia Business School in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. I started my own business 8 years ago as a passion project while working at Google and went full-time into entrepreneurship in 2023, successfully navigating the transition to becoming a founder. I currently serve as a startup advisor for companies looking for go-to-market, marketing strategy, and business plan refinement guidance.

My relevant credentials are…
– Tufts University, BA Economics and Political Science, 2006
– Columbia Business School, MBA Marketing and Entrepreneurship, 2011

I'm the co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Karité, a family-owned skincare brand I started with my two sisters. Prior to launching Karité, I spent over 15 years in sales and marketing roles at Google, American Express, and Bank of America in New York and London. I earned my BA in Economics and Political Science from Tufts University and my MBA in Marketing and Entrepreneurship from Columbia Business School.

In my spare time, I love hanging out with my two boys, planning my next vacation, and discovering the best restaurants to try with my husband and friends.
