Oluwabusayo Ogunyode

Mrs. Busola Ogunyode (preferred name Bukky) is a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist with over ten years of experience in the financial services and legal profession. She currently works as a Senior Analyst with KPMG on a Bank of America project and has worked with several other Fortune 500 companies. Bukky is an Attorney from Nigeria and holds two master’s degrees in law from the University of Lagos, Nigeria and the American University Washington College of Law. Bukky specializes in investigative analysis, legal research, regulatory compliance, and legal interpretation.

During her time as a legal practitioner in Nigeria, she volunteered much of her time taking on pro-bono cases where she represented some of the country’s most unheard and underrepresented populations. In many cases, she represented women on their divorce journeys, protecting them from laws or cultures that denied them their rights as soon-to-be unmarried women. Additionally, she represented locals whose lands had been taken by the government for unconstitutional purposes, leaving landowners uncompensated. In such cases, the government often took land from locals to give to the elites of the country with no benefits to the communities around them. With no financial means to define themselves, landowners turned to Bukky to represent them. Together, they demanded change and presented successful cases.

She is a powerful force in the workplace and uses her positive attitude and tireless energy to encourage others to work hard and succeed. Bukky is inspired daily by her husband and family. In her free time, Bukky likes to spend time enjoying private conversations with family and friends, traveling, reading, and exploring the city. In her effort to continuously serve vulnerable people, she joined the Mutual Aim team.
