His background includes significant expertise in structured finance, mergers and acquisitions, and capital optimisation, skills the firm expects to be pivotal in its next phase of growth.
The appointment is seen as a deliberate effort to enhance the firm’s strategic oversight and corporate governance. Before joining VNL Capital, Ojemaye served as the Head of Treasury at CHI Limited.
During his tenure there, he played a critical role in managing the company’s liquidity, banking relationships, and financial strategy.
His career also features a decade-long stint at United Bank for Africa (UBA), where he was instrumental in structuring financing solutions for both multinational and local corporate clients.

His appointment further strengthens VNL Capital’s ability to deliver innovative investment solutions and long-term value for our clients.”
In his new role, Ojemaye will be tasked with contributing to the firm’s investment oversight and guiding its broader corporate strategy. This transition is expected to reinforce VNL Capital’s commitment to providing disciplined, research-driven investment strategies for individuals and institutional clients alike.
Ojemaye’s academic credentials include a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) from Lagos Business School, an MBA, and a degree in Economics. He is also a member of the Chartered Institute of Directors, bringing a high level of professional rigour to the firm’s executive board.
As the firm continues to solidify its position in the Nigerian market, the addition of Ojemaye signals a sustained focus on growth and the delivery of sustainable, long-term wealth creation for its investors.
