Before i-Fitness, Foluso founded Premier Impact Limited in 2011, which later became Yes Mobile in 2015, an electronics retail chain with 5 branches in Lagos.
Yes Mobile was the first to launch two innovative retail initiatives in Nigeria in mobile: the mobile electronics insurance with Axa Mansard PLC and the mobile swap initiative enabling customers to trade in their old devices (laptops & phones) for new ones.
Foluso successfully led the company from an annual turnover of N400m in 2011 to N4bn annual turnover in 2016 before entering into an acquisition deal with Yudala Nigeria Limited, now Konga Limited.
Foluso’s visionary leadership and unwavering dedication have attracted widespread recognition, earning him several accolades within the industry. However, his greatest reward lies in witnessing the tangible impact of his efforts on the lives of countless individuals who have embraced fitness as a catalyst for positive change.
