Running a business is tough. Building an agile People Operations (POP) infrastructure that fits like a glove? That's even tougher. At The POP Sage, we get it.

Need immediate HR solutions? On a limited basis, The POP Sage provides executive and career coaching, as well as advisory services for startups without a permanent or sophisticated HR setup. We can help you develop nimble and niche People solutions that seamlessly integrate with your business operations.

Founded by Lola Olowude, a business leader with a Finance background and almost two decades of global HR experience, The POP Sage is also developing the POP XP — a holistic learning experience designed around our “3 Cs” — curriculum, content, and community. This upcoming program aims to upskill People talent, particularly in emerging markets, enabling them to drive significant business impact in HR roles.

We offer a unique blend of strategic insight and practical expertise, with a proven track record of driving commercial impact for businesses and creating meaningful experiences for their teams. Lola’s extensive background spans diverse industries, including tech and energy, with a strong focus on business partnership, talent management, and organizational development.
