Osahon Okunbo builds things that last—companies, communities, and creative legacies. An entrepreneur, investor, and cultural patron, Osahon moves between oil and gas boardrooms and art fair corridors with the same ease.
He’s the founder of Vetrinox Capital, where he backs bold ideas in infrastructure, tech, and the creative economy. He’s also the mind behind Live! Lounge—Lagos’ first dedicated comedy and live performance club—and the Chairman of The Wells Carlton in Abuja, a hotel that blends understated elegance with world-class ambition.
But beyond the titles, Osahon is most interested in one thing: platforms that help people rise. Whether he’s mentoring a young artist, funding an emerging designer, or restoring cultural spaces through The Osa Okunbo Foundation, his approach is hands-on, heart-first, and future-minded.
