Frequently asked questions
Clear answers about Temitope Runsewe’s work, perspective and ways to engage.
Who is Temitope Runsewe?
Temitope Runsewe is Managing Director of Dutum Company Limited. His career moved from institutional finance in London, including J.P. Morgan’s Global Commodities Group, into construction, infrastructure and business leadership in Nigeria. This website brings together his work on infrastructure delivery, capital, organisational growth and long-term decision-making.
What does he write and speak about?
His work focuses on infrastructure preparation and delivery, project finance, capital allocation, business growth and leadership. Much of it begins with operating experience and examines the assumptions, decisions and institutional conditions beneath project and business outcomes.
Why is infrastructure central to his work?
Infrastructure is where he has spent much of his operating career. The sector reveals how approvals, commercial agreements, supporting assets, institutional capacity and changing assumptions interact over many years between project conception and operation.
How has finance influenced his approach?
His finance background encourages a disciplined examination of what drives a business case, which assumptions carry it and what happens when those assumptions change. He applies the same scrutiny to infrastructure delivery and organisational growth.
What does building for the long term mean?
It means ensuring that people, controls, knowledge and decision-making capacity develop as a business grows. In infrastructure, it also means considering the institutions and operators who must keep an asset useful long after construction ends.
What questions is he currently exploring?
Current work examines what happens between project approval and delivery, why credible projects lose momentum, how long earlier decisions remain reliable, and who is responsible for resolving dependencies before the next commitment.
