Tosin Oduwole is the CEO and Founder of Building AQuisition Partners United. He was born in Saint Louis, Missouri, and attended school in Europe & Africa later throughout his teenage years. As he returned to the United States, he worked with his mother, running a number of independently operated adult care facilities.

Tosin also recently released his book titled “Focus On The Fix,” based on his 2018 TedX Talk on seeking out solutions in turbulent times.
