About me: I hold a degree in Economics from the University of Lagos, Nigeria. Before joining London Business School, I built a career spanning investment research, management consulting and social impact consulting. I started my career in equity research at ARM Securities and Chapel Hill Denham before transitioning into consulting at Africa Foresight Group, where I worked with businesses, investors and development organisations across Africa.
I decided to pursue an MBA at this point in my career to broaden my global perspective, strengthen my leadership and problem-solving skills, and prepare for a career in management consulting in London. I chose London Business School for its diverse community, collaborative culture and strong connections to leading global consulting firms.
Outside academics, I am a sports enthusiast. I hold a blue belt in karate and have won over 20 medals across football, basketball and athletics. In my free time, I also enjoy working out at the gym, dancing (I love a good party!), cooking and exploring new places and cultures.
Three topics I can be approached about: Life at London Business School; moving from Nigeria to London; applying to the MBA.
