#57 Olaide Oboh, Executive Director at Socius

Olaide Oboh - Executive Director at Socius.

Privately owned and a certified B Corp, Socius is an impactful developer with a £2.2bn pound development pipeline across the UK’s fastest-growing cities. They partner with institutional investors, leading architects and local communities to create inspiring and sustainable places whilst balancing profit and purpose.

At Socius, Olaide is responsible for nurturing partnerships with key stakeholders, as well as growing the company’s pipeline across the UK.

She started her career in Marketing and Communications and has had a meteoric rise – and in 2022 she was recognised by Estates Gazette as one of the 50 most influential people in the industry.

I sat down with Olaide to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:

 

How she got into real estate

You don’t need specific qualifications

‘Figure-it-out-ability’

Building connections with a focus on the future

Product market fit

Understanding communities & stakeholders

Being a social chameleon

 

Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place would Olaide invest should she have £500m of capital at her disposal.
