Sope Agbelusi

Advisory Board Member

Biography

Sope Agbelusi is the founder of MindsetShift. He works with senior executives who know what needs to change but cannot translate insight into action. “It’s rarely strategy or capability. Its identity. The version of you that delivered past success often becomes the constraint on what comes next.”

Through executive coaching and leadership programmes, he partners with leaders at Google, Nike, HSBC, and Novartis to uncover the patterns shaping how they think, decide, and lead. Using the 3U Framework™ (Unlearn, Unlock, Unleash), he dismantles what no longer serves and rebuilds clarity that drives decisive action.

Sope’s background spans finance, software development, and large-scale transformation projects. He brings commercial rigour and personal truth into the same room, something most consultants can’t or won’t do. Sope is also an international speaker and host of the Everyday Leadership podcast, where he explores what it really takes to lead.

Why I Joined

“I joined Mahogany Partners’ Advisory Board because I believe deeply in the work they’re doing to transform organisational cultures from the inside out. Inclusion isn’t a tick-box exercise it’s the foundation for unlocking human potential and creating environments where people can lead authentically and perform at their best. What drew me to Mahogany is their understanding that true inclusion requires both strategic rigour and genuine care for people. Founders and leaders need partners who can help them build cultures where psychological safety and high performance coexist, where every voice genuinely matters. That’s rare, and it’s essential. I also believe that quiet, thoughtful support matters enormously for founders navigating this work because it takes a village to be successful.”
