He is excited by how AI can power smarter food composition databases, strengthen nutrition surveillance, and help communities across Africa access evidence-based, precision-driven nutrition and health solutions.Â
When he’s not training models or brainstorming at an AI strategy meeting, you’ll probably find Rotimi scribbling his next big idea on whatever plain sheet is nearest: a new AI application or a solution to a problem nobody asked him to solve yet. For Rotimi, the best breakthroughs always start with “what if?”Â
