About Founder

Kobikam Africa was founded by Ijeoma Adesanya out of a heart for women and a desire to see them thrive. After 10 years in the private sector, whilst managing a business and birthing and raising two children, it became apparent that the career, economic and social landscape for women is significantly different to men. The existing deficiencies in both private and public policies concerning women, raised an urgent need to have more women at the helm of affairs.

Before launching Kobikam Africa, she worked as a Finance leader with the General Electric (GE) Gas Power team covering over 11 countries across SSA where she focused on Financial Planning and Analysis, Strategy and Commercial Finance. Her work experience cuts across various sectors including Power Infrastructure, Oil & Gas and Healthcare.

She has a BA(Hons) in Accounting and Management from the University of Reading and an MSc in Business Analytics and Consulting from Warwick Business School. In 2020, she went on to complete a CPD in Public Policy Analysis at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). She has always been passionate about women and has spent the past 6 years educating and empowering women across various platforms.
