The continent has the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afdb.org\/en\/topics-and-sectors\/initiatives-partnerships\/afawa-affirmative-finance-action-for-women-in-africa\/why-afawa\">highest share of female entrepreneurs<\/a> globally\u2014at almost 26%\u2014and over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/articles\/figure-of-the-week-labor-trends-for-women-in-africa\/\">24% of board seats are held by women<\/a>. Fortunately, more and more initiatives highlighting these achievements are springing up, giving greater visibility to the region&#8217;s top women business leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-celebrating-well-earned-accomplishments\">Celebrating well-earned accomplishments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year, high-profile executives from around Africa gather to review the outstanding work being done by women-led businesses across the continent. These executives form the independent advisory panel for the <strong>Top 100 Career Women in Africa<\/strong> list, an ongoing effort to magnify the contributions of high-achieving women to the region\u2019s socioeconomic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the 2024 edition, the panel received over 1,400 public nominations from various countries and industries. Going through that many entries was no easy feat, but the panel whittled down the list based on a few key considerations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2022<\/strong> The nominee\u2019s <strong>personal accomplishments<\/strong><br><strong>\u2022<\/strong> Displays of <strong>leadership excellence<\/strong><br><strong>\u2022<\/strong> A commitment to <strong>share knowledge<\/strong><br><strong>\u2022<\/strong> Proven effort to <strong>foster diversity and inclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/top-100-career-women-africa-2024-glory-edozien-phd--n516f\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>2024 Top 100 Career Women in Africa<\/strong><\/a> list. Apart from celebrating notable female business leaders, it also illustrates the growing significance of sustainability, education, digital finance and capital development in the African market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-distinguished-path\">A distinguished path<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/oreoluwa-kolawole-atinmo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oreoluwa Mobolaji Atinmo<\/a>, an alum of<strong> <\/strong>the<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/business-school\/programs\/mba\/global-executive-mba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Global Executive MBA<\/strong><\/a><strong>, was recognized among the Top 100 Career Women in Africa for 2024<\/strong> for her work connecting global brands with the region\u2019s notoriously hard-to-reach consumers. With a quick look at her track record, it\u2019s easy to see why she received this esteemed award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oreoluwa rose to distinction during her undergraduate studies, when she pursued her bachelor\u2019s degree in electrical and electronics engineering. She then earned her master of science in petroleum engineering, launching a career that allowed her to work in various industries and roles across continents. It also led to Oreoluwa\u2019s first accolade as the first female automation engineer to manage projects in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfter 13 years of professional work experience, I recognized the need to expand my knowledge beyond engineering and technical fields,\u201d she says. This inspired her decision to join the Global Executive MBA, where she hoped to sharpen her business management, strategic thinking and leadership skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rising-through-the-ranks\">Rising through the ranks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in the back of her mind, Oreoluwa always knew that the choice would lead to big shifts in her professional life and finally help her actualize her marketing career. She realized that the technical expertise and analytical mindset she gained through engineering would translate well to commercial marketing, bringing a \u201cfresh perspective\u201d to the industry. \u201cAlthough it came a few years earlier than expected, the transition felt like a natural progression,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing the Global Executive MBA, Oreoluwa rose through the ranks to her current position as the Marketing Director of GBFoods, a multinational food and beverage company with leading brands in Africa and Europe. She says the program equipped her with the leadership skills, strategic mindset and global perspective to tackle this new challenge; but more importantly, \u201cIt signaled to the company that I was ready for this role.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Oreoluwa, the program\u2019s flexible, blended approach played a big part in her sustained success. As she explains, \u201cThe Global Executive MBA offered a schedule that aligned seamlessly with my professional commitments and accommodated my travel requirements.\u201d Beyond providing insights into the local cultures and business environments in Madrid, Oxford and Singapore, those regular residential periods gave Oreoluwa the time to expand her global network while connecting deeply with her peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, she missed the face-to-face sessions in Los Angeles due to being \u201cheavily pregnant\u201d at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fostering-representation-and-diversity\">Fostering representation and diversity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oreoluwa\u2019s own experience in the program illustrates the growing flexibility and agility required of business leaders today. She has leveraged these learnings in her own career, expanding her capacity to lead diverse teams and deliver effective results. This go-getter attitude has also helped her overcome her biggest professional challenge: gaining credibility in male-dominated industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"we-re-proud-of-our-dynamic-program-alumni-who-have-landed-roles-that-earn-them-an-average-annual-salary-of-37-209\">\u201cI learned that long-term success isn\u2019t just about individual achievements, but also resilience, adaptability and sustained grit.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/recognizing-achievement-and-inspiring-greater-representation-in-business.jpg\" alt=\"Recognizing achievement and inspiring greater representation in business\" class=\"wp-image-33424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/recognizing-achievement-and-inspiring-greater-representation-in-business.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/recognizing-achievement-and-inspiring-greater-representation-in-business-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/recognizing-achievement-and-inspiring-greater-representation-in-business-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/recognizing-achievement-and-inspiring-greater-representation-in-business-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oreoluwa recognizes the amazing progress women have made in a wide range of sectors. Still, as gender stereotypes, limited access to resources and underrepresentation in leadership continue to persist, she says there\u2019s still a lot of work to be done. \u201cTo further empower women in business, we must continue to cultivate a supportive ecosystem, provide mentorship opportunities and advocate for policies that foster gender equality and inclusion in the workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why the Top 100 Career Women in Africa list is so important. It goes a long way in amplifying the wins, inspiring a new generation of women business leaders to step up. \u201cThe award reinforces my belief in the power of diversity, inclusion and female leadership in driving positive change and shaping the future of business in Africa.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns banner h-banner banner-b is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading banner-title\" id=\"boost-your-career-with-our-master-in-management\">Are you ready to reach the next evolution of your career?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"banner-content wp-block-paragraph\">Our Global Executive MBA will support your transformation, empowering you with the knowledge, skills and connections you need to grow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button banner-btn\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/business-school\/programs\/mba\/global-executive-mba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Africa, women are leaving their mark at the helm of the corporate world.
