O. Olawale Awe, PhD is a distinguished academic and statistician. He currently serves as the Vice President of the International Association for Statistics Education (IASE). His impressive affiliations include being an elected member of the International Statistics Institute (ISI), Vice President of Global Statistical Engagements of the LISA 2020 Global Network, USA, and a research professor and team leader at the Statistical Learning Laboratory (SaLLy) of the Federal University of Bahia, Brazil. As the pioneering LISA Fellow of the LISA 2020 Global Network at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA, he has significantly contributed to the global statistical community. Awe's dedication to capacity-building is evident through the numerous workshops and seminars he has facilitated globally. His passion for enhancing the skills of statisticians in Africa and other developing countries drives his work. Holding a Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and an MBA from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, Awe is an Affiliate Member of the prestigious African Academy of Sciences (AAS). His leadership extends to roles such as a former Council Member of the International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics (ISBIS) (2017-2021) and a country coordinator (Nigeria) for the International Statistical Literacy Program (ISLP) of the ISI. Currently, he serves as a professor and academic director of data science at Anointed University, South Africa, a professor and Ph.D. advisor at the Global Humanistic University (GHU), Curacao, and holds a visiting professorship at the African Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS). Awe's multifaceted contributions underscore his commitment to advancing statistical education and research on a global scale.
