Dami Onalaja-Aliu is a strategic HR and transformation leader with nearly two decades of experience helping organisations shift, scale, and thrive. His work sits where people, purpose, and product meet, and the results speak for themselves. From global change initiatives to inclusive leadership pipelines, Dami is the person organisations call when they’re serious about building cultures that work.

But his work isn’t confined to boardrooms. Dami recently added “author” to his growing list of achievements, launching his new book that explores how we lead, build, and evolve with purpose. It’s a powerful reflection of the same values he brings into every space, clarity, connection, and a deep belief in people.

He has helped teams simplify complexity through smart taxonomy frameworks, built people strategies that drive growth, and developed leadership approaches that centre inclusion and accountability. His strength lies not just in thinking big, but in making things happen, grounded in data, powered by purpose.

Dami blends deep expertise in people strategy, DEI, leadership development, and organisational design with a forward-thinking approach to tech and transformation. He helps leaders become culture-shapers, turning vision into reality, and strategy into something people can actually feel.

Thoughtful, focused, and endlessly curious, Dami is showing us that transformation is not just a goal, it’s a journey, and with the right guide, it can be meaningful every step of the way.
