    Nigerian women are amongst the most marginalized and experience barriers in every aspect of our society, with most having little or no access to education, resources and opportunities.

    Financial Management:

    Manage the company's budget and financial planning processes to ensure financial health and stability.
    Monitor and analyse financial performance, providing insights and recommendations to the executive team.

    Performance Management:

    Set performance goals and metrics for business units and ensure accountability.
    Regularly evaluate business performance and implement corrective actions as needed.

    Business Development:

    Identify and evaluate new business opportunities and potential partnerships to drive growth.
    Oversee mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures to expand the company’s portfolio.

    Risk Management:

    Develop and implement risk management strategies to mitigate potential operational risks.
    Ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements and company policies.

    Team Leadership:

    Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing management team.
    Foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement across the organisation.
