Chief Executive, Stanbic IBTC Asset Management Ltd
Olubusola Jejelowo is the Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Asset Management Limited, having previously served as Executive Director, Business Development of the Company. As CEO, she is responsible for developing strategic plans to drive the company’s profitable growth, aligning them with the broader objectives of Stanbic IBTC Group, reporting directly to the board of directors, accountable for delivering growth and enhancing stakeholder value, managing regulatory and other stakeholder relationships, ensuring the company’s interests are prioritised, providing strategic direction and leadership, fostering the company’s success, developing and supporting the risk management structures necessary to manage the business effectively.
She joined Stanbic IBTC in 2005 and has over 19 years of cognate experience spanning Investment Banking, Investment Management, Capital Market Operations, and other financial services.
Olubusola says Stanbic IBTC Asset Management has an unwavering commitment to building a resilient, transparent, and efficient Nigerian capital market. In their recent win of the ‘2024 FMDQ Gold Award for the Most Active Buy-Side Participant in the Fixed Income Market’, she says it reflects the depth of expertise, discipline, and integrity that their team bring to managing the wealth of millions of Nigerians who trust them with their investments.
According Jejelowo, too many people feel excluded from conversations about money. It is her opinion that they see investing as something reserved for the wealthy or the financially elite, and that they worry about making mistakes. “They feel overwhelmed, unsure, or simply not ready, and as a result, many delay taking action. We believe that needs to change.” She said.
Furthermore, she says “We want to help people understand that building wealth is not about having it all figured out. It is about starting, step by step. We want them to move past fear or hesitation and take control of their financial futures with clarity and confidence, and finally, to see investing not as a gamble, but as a tool for growth.”
