Seyi Akiwowo

Seyi is a multi award-winning founder and CEO. Before setting up Glitch, Seyi (pronounced Shay-ee) was elected as the youngest Black female Councillor in East London at age 23. It was when she experienced online abuse while in this position that Seyi decided to set up Glitch, to help support women and marginalised communities, and co-design practical solutions with Governments, NGOs and tech companies to make the online space safer for all. In true millennial style, Seyi is also a former TED speaker, respected consultant and writer within the political and tech space, and Penguin-published author of How To Stay Safe Online, a digital self-care toolkit for developing resilience and allyship.
