Growing up in Nigeria as the first of four daughters, my parents taught me the importance of hard work and not letting others dictate my limits.
I did not always know what I wanted to do but I knew that whatever career path I chose needed to have a positive impact on others.
With a BSc in Accounting and Finance from the University of Warwick this opened me up to a range of opportunities. I joined the graduate scheme at Atos Consulting where I worked in a range of roles helping to deliver digital transformation to various public sector organisations. There I realised that the public sector faces complex problems and innovative solutions are required to solve these problems.
I left Atos to get an MSc in Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Management from Imperial College Business School because I felt the degree would equip me with the skills needed to solve complex problems.
Joining Daintta after my Masters, I have been able to work on projects that help government organisations solve these complex problems using innovative methodologies while working with a team of people whose values align with mine.
Making a positive impact means giving back to society. I have been able to do this by volunteering to be a career coach to women in the community while at ICBS, and being a STEM ambassador, encouraging young people to explore STEM careers. I hope for a greater positive impact in the future especially helping young people.
