Rejection is the beginning of a journey.

Diane enjoys all kinds of outdoor activities, sports, food and wine tasting events as well as coffee. Her extreme leg power puts her somewhere between the Incredible Hulk and Superman.

George Goddy Tamunoiyagbo

Head, Data and Insight

A new day, another opportunity to be world class.

Data is not merely information; it's the compass that guides us through the uncharted territories of reality, revealing patterns that hold the keys to understanding and foresight. True insight comes not from the accumulation of data, but from the art of transforming it into knowledge that empowers us to make informed decisions..

Nichole Letween Manhire

Head, Media & Brand Manager

The sky is too close to be the limit.

She loves swimming, watching documentaries and movies, and is enthusiastic about start-ups. Nichole’s chatting skill is as rare as it is essential.

Efe Ogundowole

Head, Learning, Skills & Development

We have control over OUR choice of thoughts, attitude, beliefs, values and behaviour…we can’t control others, but we can control how we react to them.

Efe relaxes through any one or all of her hobbies – reading, dancing and travelling. Her communication skills and kindness quotient stands this shero out.

Modupe Odesanmi

Head, Events

Treat others as you would have them treat you.

Distraction for Modupe comes in the form of designing spaces. An intuitive mind and the gift to dream about events before they occur confirms her other-worldly status. Her middle name might very well be Josephine.

Felix Madago

Head, Venture Building & Partnership

Ideas are like musted seed

You need to make sure you give yourself all the time because you only get one shot to convince anyone.

Ugochi Silas

Staff writer/Content creator

Learn, evolve and stay ready

Outside of work, reading books, listening to music and making music through DJ duties are activities she indulges in. And Mr. Fantastic will envy Ugochi because she has the ability to stre-e-t-t-ch herself past her limits.

Mark E. Yabrifa

Media Associate

Coke? Do you know what he means by this? Is it the slogan ‘Taste the feeling’?

In his spare time, Mark finds pleasure in jogging and praying. Cool gospel music is his superpower? Does he listen to, write or produce it? Could he please clarify?

Akinlabi Omolara

Graphic Designer

The impossible is the untried.

Omolara’s diversions begin with her designation – designing – before veering off to cooking (especially new recipes), meeting people, going on adventures and cycling. Her relentless quest for knowledge makes her a certifiable wonder woman.
