Olorunleke Olorunshola, a leading Power Platform developer and solution architect, has been named one of Crest Africa’s Top 50 Voices in African Tech 2025, joining a prestigious list of changemakers shaping the continent’s digital future through innovation, impact, and inclusion.

The recognition was announced in June 2025, celebrating tech professionals whose work is driving transformation across Africa’s public and private sectors. Olorunshola was selected for his exceptional contributions to low-code enterprise development, scalable digital infrastructure, and grassroots mentorship in the Microsoft Power Platform ecosystem.

“To be listed among Africa’s most influential voices in technology is deeply humbling,” he said. “But more importantly, it’s a reminder that the work we do in the background, building systems, mentoring teams, solving small problems, is pushing the whole continent forward.”

Over the last decade, Olorunshola has deployed more than 25 enterprise-grade solutions using Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse, helping organizations in finance, construction, and government automate manual processes, reduce redundancy, and gain critical visibility through tools like Power BI. In 2025 alone, he led the design and rollout of a Health and Environment Impact Assessment platform for a regional government, streamlining complex approval workflows and improving interdepartmental communication.

His ability to translate real-world business challenges into functional, sustainable applications has made him one of the most trusted low-code experts working across Africa and the UK. But it’s not just his technical ability that earned him a place on the Top 50 list, it’s his dedication to empowering others.

“Tech should not be locked behind certifications or job titles,” he said. “One of the most powerful things we can do is show everyday professionals that they too can build, automate, and innovate. That’s where the revolution really begins.”

This philosophy has guided his community efforts, including hands-on training sessions, mentorship programs, and contributions to governance-focused Centers of Excellence for Power Platform deployment. His guidance has helped companies increase internal adoption, reduce dependency on external developers, and unlock the full potential of low-code strategy.

Crest Africa praised Olorunshola’s unique blend of strategic thinking and grassroots execution. The platform noted his role in building not just apps, but systems that last, systems that empower people.

“Being named a top voice is not a finish line. It’s a call to continue,” he added. “There’s still so much opportunity in African tech, and I’m committed to being part of a future that is inclusive, innovative, and built on purpose.”
