USB alumnus Shayo Imologome one of 50 leading women on corporate Nigeria 2020 list

Leading Ladies Africa presented the definitive list of 50 Nigerian women who are showing their expertise, professionalism and excellence in successfully leading regional and global businesses, and Shayo Imologome, USB MBA alumnus made the list this year. Congratulations!

Shayo is the CEO and Co-Founder of StratNovate Consulting, a management consulting firm in Nigeria. Shayo has 30 years of experience in finance, auditing and compliance, consultancy and advisory, and more recently business development and strategy. Her career has taken her through almost every industry in Nigeria, including marketing communication and media, manufacturing, oil and gas, financial services, hospitality, insurance, just to mention a few.

In her current role as CEO and Co-Founder of StratNovate Consulting, she helps provide businesses with the needed support to change at the right time. This involves strategy review, support and advisory, operational and financial performance management as well as identification of potential threats and suggested lines of action to mitigate against them. This is the second recognition Shayo has received recently, just last year Sales Ruby recognised her as one of the 50 Top Personalities on LinkedIn 2019.

Francesca Uriri, Founder Leading Ladies Africa stated that “Nigerian women, through their tenacity, hard work and vision are turning things around especially within the corporate sector”.  She went on to say that “we have a two-fold objective in publishing this list: first, to make a case for gender diversity and inclusiveness within the corporate sector, and secondly to highlight the women who are leading successfully across different business sectors. This year we have an even greater representation of women from different backgrounds, and will continue to press for that diversity to be reflected, especially within the C-suite and across the entire value chain.”
