Being a visionary entrepreneur with a constant flow of ideas requires you're surrounded by a solid team of leaders you can delegate to. Wale Banjoko is that kind of entrepreneur.

As he said, "I just want to grow and build" His latest thnic Wholesale Foods Distribution Service. His Business Broker and Advisor at Sunbelt, Brad Peterson has not only been the one who's "had his back" but has also become a trusted friend. When Wale and his partner had questions, Brad had answers, and the right ones.
Wale shared several compelling stories of his 20+ years owning both US and Nigerian companies; not a cake walk by any stretch.
His advanced degrees in Marketing, International Business, and Global Distribution are the perfect foundation for the big thinking he's prone to; all he needs are a few good connections to investors with the same vision and desire to expand an untapped market.
