Ibukunoluwa Abiodun Awosika is a Nigerian business woman, motivational speaker, and an author. A woman filled with depth that mere words cannot describe. She just always makes sense…consistently for that matter.
Her presence speaks even before she opens her mouth. Indeed, she is a clear definition of an accomplished career woman and an outstanding transformational leader. Ibukun Awosika gracefully stands tall as a light of optimism and intentional impact, positively challenging norms, influencing ethos, aligning minds and nations to purpose. Her multidimensional life and stanch devotion to positive impact always leaves an ineffaceable mark wherever she goes.
A graduate of Chemistry from the University of Ife, Nigeria; She is an alumna of the Chief Executive Programme of Lagos Business School; the Global Executive MBA of IESE Business School, Barcelona-Spain; and Global CEO Programme of Wharton, IESE and C.E.I.B.S Business Schools.
She is Founder/ CEO, The Chair Centre Group, Chairman D.light design INC, Digital Jewels LTD, Non-Executive Director, Cadbury Nigeria Plc., and author of The “Girl” Entrepreneurs and Business His Way.
She is a member of several distinguished corporate boards and was the first female Chairperson of First Bank Of Nigeria. Now, that is how you shatter the proverbial “glass ceiling.”
Ibukun is a co-founder and past chairperson of Women in Business, Management, and Public Service (WIMBIZ). She wears her faith on her sleeves and never ceases to declare her truth about God wherever she goes. An ordained Pastor and founder of the Christian Missionary Fund, Ibukun, through this faith-based organisation, works with hundreds of missionaries spread across Nigeria to change lives through the provision of medical, educational, and other supplies.
Still in line with her passion for global impact, The International Woman Leadership Conference (TIWLC), an initiative of Ibukun Awosika Leadership that brings women across Africa and the diaspora together in a place of knowledge, empowerment, and entertainment, was created. Talk about an outstanding event for discerning women who want a shift in their lives and are conscious of the value of strategic relevance and inclusive lift, then TIWLC is one you should not miss.
In over 34 years of building a manufacturing group and being involved in corporate work across several boards and companies both in Nigeria and beyond, Ibukun Awosika is clear proof that women are not only technically competent at all levels, but are driven, ambitious, and desire to be valuable additions to their organisations and nations.
Ibukun Awosika is a multiple award-winning entrepreneur and the first Nigerian recipient of the prestigious International Women Entrepreneurial Challenge Award (IWEC) as a nominee of the US Department of State in 2008. She is married to Abiodun Awosika and they are blessed with three bravura sons.
