Raji Kudus Adewale is a Nigerian data product manager and entrepreneur. He founded DeDataHub, a platform designed to support professionals and learners seeking careers in data and artificial intelligence.

Founded in 2024, DeDataHub emerged from a clear observation: many aspiring tech professionals abandon career transitions because they lack mentorship, visibility on opportunities and professional support. Consequently, the start-up helps users understand labor-market trends, strengthen technical skills and build career strategies aligned with their ambitions.

DeDataHub differentiates itself by providing high-level career guidance that many professionals previously accessed only through closed networks or specialized consultants. The platform aims to help users understand recruiter expectations, identify critical skills and improve employability.

The platform offers several tools to support user progression. These tools include virtual advisers capable of recommending learning paths tailored to each user’s profile and career objectives. In addition, the start-up provides skills recommendations, job-offer analysis, project feedback and interview preparation support.

Furthermore, DeDataHub emphasizes labor-market monitoring. The company says it analyzes recruiter demand to help users focus on the most sought-after skills and avoid spending time on less relevant subjects.

Alongside DeDataHub, Adewale has hosted the podcast “Tech Journey With DeDataDude” since 2024. Through professional insights and personal testimonies, he shares practical action plans aimed at helping listeners succeed in the technology sector.

Adewale currently serves as product lead at JPMorganChase, the U.S. financial giant. He graduated in 2019 from the Federal University of Technology Akure with a bachelor’s degree in remote sensing and geographic information systems. He later earned a master’s degree in international business management from Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland.

Before launching his entrepreneurial venture, Adewale worked as a data scientist at Milsat between 2023 and 2024. At the same time, he served as a generative AI solutions engineer at Dana Consulting.
