SYLVESTER JUWE, Founder, EDATECH Limited
Nigerian Diaspora Professional Icon of the Year
The name, Dr. Sylvester Juwe, commands recognition in the global Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. A distinguished Nigerian Diaspora professional and acclaimed Cambridge-educated mathematician, he is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (FIMA) and a globally respected leader in AI and Data Science. With over two decades of experience, he has consistently delivered transformative value across organizations — from high-growth start-ups to FTSE 100 companies in the UK.
As a leading Data and AI strategist, Dr. Juwe has architected and executed enterprise-wide initiatives, unlocking hundreds of millions of pounds in value across diverse industries. His impact includes:
- Driving a value uplift of hundreds of millions of pounds in a single year within the energy sector.
- Reducing client attrition by 50% and increasing revenues by 23% in media and information services.
- Revolutionizing education through EDATECH, a platform that has halved underperformance among schoolchildren, helping unlock their latent potential.
A respected thought leader and executive contributor at Brainz Magazine, Dr. Juwe has delivered keynote addresses at major global forums, including the Nordic Data Science Summit and the World Computer Science Congress. He is the author of the industry guide Agile Machine Learning with DataRobot, and has two forthcoming titles: the business-focused The Human-AI Alliance and the Afro-futurist narrative The Conscious Garden of UwaAkụ.
Dr. Juwe is the visionary founder of EDATECH, a tech-enabled platform that harnesses advanced AI to deliver personalized, project-based learning across Sub-Saharan Africa. Guided by the belief that “Only the informed are in form to perform,” the platform has demonstrated measurable impact in Nigeria. It has been championed by prominent figures such as African record holder and Olympic Medalist Ese Brume (OON) and Olympic Finalist PrestinaOchonogor — both of whom have supported the vision of the solution in distinct and meaningful ways. The initiative has already transformed thousands of schoolchildren and is poised for further expansion in 2026 through the EDATECH Quiz, which will engage hundreds of schools.
Dr. Juwe exemplifies resilience and excellence. He is the 2023 European M45 Champion in athletics and actively mentors Nigerian athletes and professionals. His pursuit of growth extends skyward as a trainee pilot. His journey — from a once-struggling student and athlete to a national and continental champion, Cambridge-trained technologist, and global entrepreneur — is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who dare to lead.
Dr. Sylvester Juwe’s recognition as Top10 Magazine’s Nigerian Diaspora Professional Icon of the Year celebrates his outstanding contributions as a trailblazing Nigerian professional in the diaspora, with landmark achievements in the field of information technology.
