Wunmi Adekanmbi is the visionary behind Trade Without Borders, a platform advancing Canada's global trade diversification through diaspora networks, international partnerships, and emerging market engagement. Her work focuses on helping Canadian companies access non-traditional trade corridors through trusted global relationships, market intelligence, and ecosystem-driven collaboration. Under her leadership, the inaugural Trade Without Borders Summit in Calgary brought together founders, business leaders, investors, diaspora chambers of commerce, and partners including Global Affairs Canada, Export Development Canada (EDC), Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), and Calgary Economic Development to explore practical pathways for international expansion beyond traditional markets. Beyond flagship convenings, she leads initiatives that connect Canadian businesses with local partners, business leaders, and industry stakeholders across target regions through market briefings, executive roundtables, trade missions, and relationship-building programs designed to strengthen international market readiness. With over 18 years of experience spanning workforce development, innovation ecosystems, digital transformation, and economic development, Wunmi is recognized for positioning diaspora and globally connected networks as strategic infrastructure for trade, investment, and long-term economic growth. She also serves as an Advisory Board Member of the Global Chamber Alberta, supporting cross-border business engagement and international market connectivity.
