My Story

The Story Behind the Mission

I grew up in Nigeria knowing two things: that education was the greatest gift anyone could give a young person, and that the right mentor at the right moment could change the entire trajectory of a life. I carried both truths with me when I moved to the UK — and they have shaped everything I have built since.

Today I am a cybersecurity consultant with over a decade of experience working with some of the world's most recognised organisations — including HSBC, Lloyds, JP Morgan, New York Stock Exchange and the Department for Transport. I hold various certifications in Cloud and Cyber Security and have led enterprise-scale security programmes across financial services and government. That career gave me financial independence, global exposure, and a front-row seat to the digital economy's demands on the next generation of professionals.

I founded Dwelling at Ease Foundation to give young people in the UK — particularly those from underrepresented communities — access to real career coaching, CPD-certified skills training, and mentoring that goes beyond a CV workshop. I walk into secondary schools and I speak to young people about who they can become. Not who the system has decided they are — who they actually can be.

I built Daebridge because I saw the same problem everywhere: brilliant people with potential and no one to guide them. Daebridge is an AI-powered mentoring platform that matches mentors and mentees across the UK and Africa — turning the life-changing power of mentorship into something scalable, accessible, and technology-driven. Over 500 users. 78% retention. Growing every month.

And I founded TechPath & Mentorship Foundation in Africa because the digital divide cannot wait. African students deserve access to computers, digital literacy, and tech training — not in ten years, now. TechPath equips African secondary schools and universities with the hardware and human support to prepare a generation of digitally confident youths.

Three ventures. One mission: close the gap between where young people are and where they could go.

The Africa Connection

Building the Future of African Tech,
One School at a Time

Through TechPath & Mentorship Foundation — the Africa arm of the Dwelling at Ease family — Tutu is on a mission to place computers and digital literacy training in secondary schools across Nigeria. Because technology should not be a privilege. It should be a right.

TechPath works directly with schools, community leaders, and corporate partners to deliver:

Computer lab installations
Structured digital skills curricula
Mentoring connections to the diaspora
Pathways into Nigeria's growing tech economy

If you are a corporate partner, foundation, or individual who shares this vision — we want to hear from you.
