About Lara Adekunle
I’m a mission-driven project manager and strategic collaborator passionate about fostering entrepreneurship, strengthening local economies, and building a robust business enabling environment. With experience spanning international development consulting, economic development, and government contracting, I specialize in managing complex programs, cultivating cross-sector partnerships, and delivering community-first solutions that create measurable, sustainable impact. Previously, I supported the growth of a D.C-based food entrepreneurship social enterprise, led outreach efforts for a $1.5M grant fund for student-led social ventures, and built corporate and university initiatives advancing equity and inclusive leadership. Let’s connect if you’re working at the intersection of entrepreneurship, local economic growth, and inclusive innovation.
