About
Great Opomu
Great Opomu is a designer, strategist, and early-stage investor. He designs operational systems, develops strategic frameworks, and invests in businesses to drive growth.
Over the past decade, he has worked with organizations across Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States, spanning technology, energy, real estate, food, beauty, healthcare, manufacturing, and marketing services.
His work serves a diverse range of clients including educational institutions, consulting firms, media companies, technology startups, and enterprise organizations. He brings the same level of strategic thinking and design expertise whether working with early-stage ventures or established enterprises.
Great Opomu operates across three interconnected disciplines:
Design
He creates operational systems, digital and physical products, brand identities, and visual systems that solve business challenges. His design philosophy centers on building integrated systems rather than disconnected tools – infrastructure that enables businesses to execute efficiently and scale sustainably.
Strategy
He develops comprehensive frameworks for technology adoption, product development, market positioning, and organizational growth. His strategic work helps leadership teams navigate complexity, make informed decisions, and build competitive advantages that last. He focuses on sustainable growth strategies, not quick fixes.
Investment
He commits financial capital alongside his expertise and time to early-stage ventures, operating as both investor and partner. This means deploying not just money, but design capabilities, strategic frameworks, industry connections, and hands-on guidance. He believes real investment requires comprehensive commitment, not just writing checks.
Systems & Platform Thinking
Great Opomu is recognized as a thought leader within the WordPress ecosystem – the platform that powers over 40% of all websites on the internet and is used by most small-to-mid-size businesses globally. He authored the #WPforOps manifesto, which repositions WordPress from website builder to business operations platform, advocating for businesses to consolidate operational systems rather than fragment across expensive SaaS subscriptions. He proves this philosophy through the operational systems built at WPFlat and continues to advocate for it across the industry.
Strategic Business Development
He works with leadership teams across multiple industries on technology strategy, product development, market positioning, and organizational growth. His frameworks help companies make strategic decisions that create sustainable competitive advantages.
Great Opomu operates at the strategic and partnership level across his ventures while maintaining capacity for select executive engagements. When he commits to businesses – whether through design, strategy, or investment – he brings comprehensive value: not just advice or capital alone, but expertise, time, strategic frameworks, and resources.
He believes in building lasting partnerships, not transactional relationships. His work focuses on creating sustainable systems and strategies that continue delivering value long after initial engagement.
