About Me
Tope Awotona is the founder and CEO of scheduling software company Calendly. Awotona, a former salesman for tech firms including EMC (now Dell EMC), founded Calendly out of his own frustration with the back-and-forth emails required to schedule meetings. He bootstrapped Calendly for years before taking on a $350 million investment in 2021 that valued the firm at $3 billion. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Awotona immigrated to the United States as a teenager. Before founding Calendly, he had started a few other businesses, including one that sold projectors and another that sold garden tools, that flopped.
