Nadia Odunayo

Nadia Odunayo is a London-based software engineer and the founder of The StoryGraph, a book tracking application that has gained popularity as an alternative to Goodreads. Initially a user of Goodreads, Odunayo created The StoryGraph in response to the limitations she perceived in the platform, particularly its ownership by Amazon. With a background in philosophy, politics, and economics from the University of Oxford, she transitioned into tech after attending a coding course for women. Under her leadership, The StoryGraph has amassed millions of users, offering features that prioritize user experience and data-driven recommendations, all while maintaining a commitment to independence from corporate ownership.
