Yomi Tejumola, the London-based founder of a rapidly growing AI company, has been named one of the “most ambitious” bosses in the UK.
He established Algomarketing in 2017 while working as a data scientist at Google to automate “mundane” tasks and transform the workforce into what he calls a new era of ‘evolved workers.’. The business now operates in 27 countries across six continents and counts tech giants Cisco, Google and Zoom among its customers.
Yomi Tejumola was recognised in a list of the top 50 most ambitious leaders of 2024 by LDC – an arm of Lloyds Bank – in partnership with The Times. All the entrepreneurs featured in the rankings are at the helm of high-growth companies creating jobs, promoting social equality, championing sustainability or expanding internationally.
Yomi said: “It’s an incredible honour to be recognised as an LDC Ambitious Business Leader this year,. Since starting this journey in 2017, I’ve been on a mission to restore joy to the world of work. Through Algomarketing, I’ve built a global network of 200 Algos (or marketing super talent) who we deploy into big tech brand marketing operations globally. By unlocking the power of algorithmic marketing, we can remove the 80% repetitive and mundane tasks that many marketers experience in their day-to-day roles. I’m striving to build a future where marketers leverage AI and automation to not only make them more productive, but improve their work-life balance, creativity, and general wellness.”
Algomarketing generates 65% of its revenue from outside the UK and expects to reach a turnover of £150m by 2030.
