Oluwatosin Victor Akinbulumo (Director)
My name is Oluwatosin Victor Akinbulumo. I grew up in Nigeria and currently live in Glasgow, Scotland. I joined the SCOREScotland Board in June 2026. What I value most about SCOREScotland is its unwavering commitment to building inclusive communities where everyone feels welcomed, valued and empowered. I am particularly inspired by the organisation’s work to promote racial equality, support refugees and migrants, and strengthen community cohesion through meaningful engagement and partnership.
My professional background spans banking, business development, marketing and communications, health and social care, and community leadership. Through these diverse experiences, I have developed expertise in strategic leadership, governance, stakeholder engagement, partnership development, marketing, project management and community engagement. I bring practical experience of leading community initiatives, building cross-sector partnerships and supporting organisations to achieve sustainable growth. I particularly enjoy connecting people, developing collaborative solutions and creating opportunities that make a lasting positive impact.
