The author
Shina Salako
Author & operator · MD/CEO, SALCOMMS KWIK XTRA LIMITED · Maxwell Leadership Team member
Started his first business in 2009 with ₦30,000 gifted by a neighbour, money originally intended for rent, redirected with the neighbour's blessing into an SMS gateway business.
Built and sold across SMS, fleet management, and consulting over the next eighteen years. Postgraduate studies at the University of Liverpool (2014) and Lagos Business School (2019).
In 2014 he pioneered Guinness Nigeria's first fleet management programme through SALCOMMS KWIK XTRA LIMITED. Twelve years later, that engagement is still running — making it one of the longest-running embedded telematics service relationships in Nigeria.
He joined the John Maxwell Leadership team in 2022 as a certified coach, speaker, and trainer. He runs regular leadership and entrepreneurship sessions across Lagos.
The Entrepreneur Operating System is the book he wishes someone had handed him in 2009 when hustle felt like strategy, and nobody had named the leak.
