How Leatherback Was Founded

Leatherback, which today has headquarters in London, United Kingdom, operates offices in London, Lagos, and more locations across the globe, was founded by Ibrahim Ibitade, who is the global CEO of the fintech firm.

According to the firm’s website, “there’s nothing conventional about the Leatherback CEO, Ibrahim Toyeeb. Like his pioneering financial solution, he is a fearless visionary, transcending boundaries and intent on finding answers to some of the world’s greatest social and economic challenges.”

Driven by the need to enable global finance, payments, commerce and lifestyle opportunities through more equitable financial solutions, his biodata reads, “Toyeeb started Leatherback in 2019 with the big ambition of democratizing banking by providing a single access point that empowers individuals and businesses to think and act globally.”

With his singular experience of local trade and global finance, Leatherback says, “it uniquely placed Toyeeb to help developed and frontier markets connect: he knows the gaps; he understands local and global trade and commerce; he has vast experience in payments and technology, and he is passionate about what businesses need to scale and grow. His disappointment in the mediocre level of infrastructural development and lack of global impact compelled him to begin the Leatherback journey. He believes in removing barriers and enabling genuine business solutions that ensure growth, scalability, and support smoother operations for SMEs.”
