The Industry Newspaper has named Olusanya Adesanya, Group Director of Sales at FrieslandCampina WAMCO Plc, among Nigeria’s Top 50 Industry Impact Makers 2026 in recognition of his professional excellence, ethical leadership and contributions to the Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) industry.
The recognition was announced at the Industry Impact Summit 2.0 and Top 50 Men of Impact 2.0, held at the weekend at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos. The event, themed Responsibility and Impact: The Role of Men as Builders of Brands, Businesses, and Society, brought together industry leaders to celebrate individuals making significant contributions to business and society.
Organised by The Industry Newspaper, the summit was convened by its Editor-in-Chief, Mr Goddie Ofose.
Speaking on Adesanya’s inclusion in the prestigious list, Ofose said he exemplifies the kind of leader the summit seeks to recognise, highlighting his commitment to building people, brands and sustainable business systems through character, consistency and ethical leadership.
"Olusanya Adesanya is not just a sales leader. He is a builder of people, of brands and of systems. From Guinness Nigeria to FrieslandCampina WAMCO, his career has been defined by professional excellence and ethical impact," Ofose said.
"In an industry where results are often celebrated without asking how they were achieved, Sanya has shown that you can deliver double-digit growth and still do it the right way with integrity, with discipline, and with respect for people and trade partners. That is why he merited this listing. This was not a favour. This was merit," he added.
Ofose explained that the selection process was conducted by The Industry Newspaper Editorial Management Team in collaboration with selected brand journalists. The assessment considered nominees' track records, innovation, leadership, character and overall industry impact.
Adesanya is regarded as a transformational commercial leader with a track record of driving sustainable growth and strengthening market leadership in Nigeria's fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector.
At FrieslandCampina WAMCO, he plays a key role in ensuring the company's products reach consumers through approximately 1.1 million relevant retail outlets across Nigeria's 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
Driven by a passion for nourishing Nigeria's population of more than 250 million people, Adesanya combines strategic vision with hands-on market execution, translating ambitious business objectives into tangible commercial results.
