Buki Mosaku is an internationally renowned bias navigation expert, speaker, and author, dedicated to transforming the way organisations and individuals navigate workplace bias and racial inequality. He is the founder of RosAcad, an international business and sales training consultancy, and DiverseCity Think Tank, a collective of experts in workplace bias and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). What motivates Buki is a deep commitment to levelling the playing field in the workplace, particularly for those who are underrepresented or misunderstood due to unconscious bias. His speaking topics include unconscious bias navigation, inclusive leadership, navigating difficult conversations about race, and empowering individuals to take control of bias encounters rather than feeling powerless. Buki believes in moving beyond blame and focusing on practical strategies that encourage lasting behavioural change.

Buki began his career in international business development and sales, working his way up in a highly competitive environment. His personal experiences as a Black professional frequently exposed him to unconscious bias and microaggressions, shaping his understanding of the systemic barriers faced by underrepresented groups. In 2010, he founded RosAcad, offering tailored training programmes that improved business and sales outcomes for clients across various industries. Over time, Buki recognised a growing need for organisations to address issues of bias and inequality more directly. This led him to establish DiverseCity Think Tank in 2019, where he brought together a team of specialists dedicated to delivering solutions that promote equity and inclusion in the workplace.

In recent years, Buki has developed innovative tools and methodologies that have made him a sought-after figure in the DEI space. In 2020, he introduced the IDU (I Don’t Understand) methodology, a unique framework that empowers individuals to navigate bias without framing themselves as victims or others as perpetrators. His 2023 book I Don’t Understand: Navigating Unconscious Bias in the Workplace has been praised for its practical and empowering approach. Buki’s Bias Navigation Test is now used by leading organisations such as J.P. Morgan, AXA, Kantar, and Sky TV. His 2022 Let’s Stop campaign reached over 15 million people via television and media, and he has appeared in outlets such as BBC, Sky, Daily Mail, and CEOWorld.

Organisations hire Buki because his approach goes beyond traditional unconscious bias training. His work provides practical, non-blame-based strategies that equip people at all levels to engage in constructive conversations about race and inclusion. As a speaker, Buki is known for his engaging style, actionable insights, and ability to inspire real behavioural change in organisations committed to fostering inclusive workplaces.

“I have just listened to Buki’s summary covering directional bias, reverse bias and defensive fragility and it’s powerful stuff. Worth a listen and consideration, as the industry looks to embrace D&I.”

David, Head of Compliance & Training, British Insurance Brokers Association

“It was fantastic. I thought the way of reframing and rethinking how to deal with gender bias was impactful. Your statement of us continuing to do the same thing over and over expecting different results resonated with me. And the tangible skills provided for calling out bias in a manner of enquiry was very valuable.”

Mercedes, Prime Electric

“I Don’t understand! That was our talk last night at the latest Fellows event with Buki Mosaku helping us to understand how to just clarify the situation. His book I Don’t Understand helps individuals and businesses bring clarity to [navigating workplace bias] our discussions and actions. So pleased I attended. Buki reminded me that it is good, no matter how hard it can be, just to seek to understand. Generously hosted by Stephen Day FCIPS and Kantar and arranged by Daniel Abda.”
