Dieko Falade

Finance Analyst

"Dieko can usually be heard screaming for fouls after pirouetting past players for our 5-a-side team… as well as giggling at every single joke told in the office. He brings a bundle of energy, but is meticulous and efficient when it comes to the numbers." — Cameron Kanda
