Yanju Lawal is a UK-based product leader with more than 16 years of experience turning complex challenges into accessible, high-impact digital products across startups, large enterprises, and government. She is a recipient of the UK Global Talent endorsement in Digital Technology, recognised for her contribution to the global tech ecosystem, and consults through an invite-only network of senior global tech talent.

Yanju brings together user experience, service design, product marketing, and end-to-end discovery and delivery. She is sought after for building and leading multidisciplinary teams in highly regulated sectors, including FinTech, EdTech, HRTech, and GovTech. Her background in physiology and public health (a BSc in Physiology and an MSc in Public Health from the University of Lagos) shapes a diagnostic approach: understand the real problem before building the solution.

Design thinking sits at the heart of her work. She has facilitated design thinking and value proposition workshops for product education platforms, university enterprise programmes, PhD researchers from leading UK universities, and national business forums. Through Malvorah, she helps early-stage teams close the gap between vision and traction.

Yanju also gives back. She serves as a Non-Executive Board Member, has trained and mentored aspiring product managers since 2020, and has led the programme and content team for one of the UK's largest tech community events for three consecutive years. She champions women's financial independence and career progression through her job application and interview preparation workbook.
