About Our CEO: Achumboro Ataande is a 4x entrepreneur, lawyer, and angel investor who reads over 200 books annually. He is the CEO of two companies: a business and legal services firm and an education consulting government contracting firm. When he started his first company, he did not have mentors or advisors whom he could ask for guidance. He struggled to figure out the way to go, which was one reason that business failed. After that, he learned many things and connected with great advisors who helped him succeed with his following three businesses. Now, he wants to bring that to you so you don't experience what he did with his first business. We can't wait to connect and collaborate on an engaging podcast episode!
