Anuoluwapo Aremu

I am a Computational Linguist and AI Programs Lead with 8+ years of experience leading large-scale multilingual data operations, quality assessment and building cross-sector partnerships that power inclusive language technologies through research, innovation and advocacy across Africa. My work bridges technical execution and program delivery, with a strong track record of improving operational efficiency and producing quality outcomes across text and speech data pipelines. I have led distributed collaboration between technical teams, community contributors, and partner organisations to produce resource-optimised results. Beyond program operations and linguistic excellence, I build and manage strategic partnerships with academic institutions, NGOs, and community networks to scale inclusive language technology initiatives. My work combines program/project management, data governance and ethics, and community-driven systems development, aligning closely with participatory and impact-focused approaches to advancing the African NLP ecosystems.
