Akunna is the Founder of Exodust and leads its advisory work across career strategy, business and product strategy, operations, AI and automation. A Product Leader and Solutions Architect, her experience spans strategy, technology, operations and professional development, bringing a multidisciplinary perspective to complex individual, business and organisational challenges.
She has more than a decade of experience advising professionals on career strategy, alongside extensive experience in product leadership, digital products and technology, including the development and training of product professionals.
Akunna holds a Master’s degree in Project Management and Operations Management from the University of Huddersfield, is an AWS Certified Solutions Architect, and holds a Product Leader Certificate from Product School.
