Buki Mosaku is one of the world’s foremost experts in workplace bias navigation. As the founder of DiverseCity Think Tank and the creator of the "IDU?™ Methodology", Buki has developed a revolutionary approach to addressing unconscious bias in professional environments—one that drives productivity and strengthens culture without conflict or blame. Rejecting the common “Guilty Perpetrator vs Hapless Victim” framework, he empowers organisations to build high-performing teams rooted in trust, cohesion and inclusivity.
Buki began his career by founding RosAcad (Results Oriented Sales Academy) in the 2000s, a successful international sales training and corporate development consultancy. There, he personally trained over 50,000 professionals across industries and geographies. His deep understanding of human behaviour, performance metrics, and business outcomes has enabled him to support leading global companies in improving both individual capability and team effectiveness.
In 2019, Buki established DiverseCity Think Tank, a DE&I consultancy focused specifically on helping leaders and organisations confront and navigate unconscious bias—whether based on race, gender, disability or sexuality. His signature IDU?™ Methodology is designed to disarm bias in a way that reconditions behaviour while avoiding defensiveness, blame, or shame. His mission is to support companies in developing inclusive cultures where all talent can thrive.
Buki is also the author of "I Don’t Understand? – A Practical Guide to Navigating Bias in the Workplace", a bold and practical handbook designed to transform how organisations approach DE&I. His client list includes some of the most prominent names in business: Shell, JP Morgan, Aon, Aviva, Sky, Lloyds Bank, Salesforce, Goldman Sachs, American Express, M&S, and Morgan Stanley, among others.
As a speaker, Buki is known for being informative, empowering, and highly practical. His keynotes are engaging and transformational, teaching leaders and teams exactly what to say, how to say it, and when to say it to tackle bias head-on and create more inclusive, productive workplaces. Whether addressing executive leaders or entire organisations, Buki’s sessions leave audiences with the tools and confidence to transform insight into action.
