5. Hustling in the corporate world; from London to Lagos, with Olamide Bada of Jumia Food
Update: 2018-08-06
Description
I had the pleasure of meeting with powerhouse and ultimate go-getter, Olamide Bada. After studying Law at SOAS, completing her Post-grad at the University of Law and going on to land a role at international law firm, Baker McKenzie, Olamide packed up her bags (and law career) and took to Nigeria for 2 years to take on the world of business.
Here she quickly rose from SWAT Team Manager at Jumia Nigeria to Managing Director of Jumia Food; miles from her humble beginnings in London. For her work at Jumia Food, Olamide has since been featured by Bella Naija as their #BellaNaijaWCW and was awarded the Prize for Professional Service at The Future Awards Africa in 2017.
We sat down to talk about creating a seat at the table, being your full self in a corporate environment and the realities of moving back "home".
