Adeleke and a buddy co-founded Origin International Limited, a company that creates aroma and flavor for the food and cosmetics industries.
Adeleke founded a courier service company before moving into manufacturing, and he went on to secure a significant courier contract in the United States, Despite the fact that it was a one-man operation, his commercial savvy and skills guaranteed that his firm was given the contract.

In his words: “It was a thriving enterprise. I made a lot of money from the business. The business expanded so rapidly,”

“The business was a major break for me. It was also a pioneering effort. We penetrated several American markets. That manufacturing venture yielded a lot of returns. You know only competent and smart people can successfully create and run a business in the United States.

“I competed with a Whiteman to win,”

“I played many critical board room roles including being selected to lead a company team to negotiate for expansion loans from the Dublin headquarters. I not only negotiated and secured the loan but deployed my experience in the negotiation. I was a major asset to the board where I served for two terms,”
