In the past year, we have worked nonstop to make sure that
even more women in technology participate and are retained in the technology
industry and we have done this by providing these wentees with access to expert
guidance from women in top tier organizations across the world.
“We are not in a hurry to fill up board member roles, but
one thing we are intentional about doing is that as we find the people we are
looking for and as the opportunity presents itself, we take it,” EduAbasi said
as she made this announcement to the team at Wentors before deciding to make
the news public.
We believe the timing and person is both right for us.
Mfon Ekpo has championed the cause and has received national
and international recognition for helping women in Africa, Europe and the
United States translate their ideas into strategic income-generating and
sustainable businesses in diverse industries including tech. It is this wealth
of knowledge and expertise she brings to Wentors.
We know as we intensify our drive to nurture women in
technology everywhere, Mfon Ekpo is the right addition to the board.
Mfon Ekpo, who is currently the CEO of The Discovery Centre,
a training organization that specializes in developing effective and
technological advanced systems, strategy and structure for organizational and
individual development.
An astute professional with multiple degrees in Maritime
Law, Business Law, Journalism, Neurolinguistic programming, Project Management
and Negotiation, Mfon, an international speaker and a coach to top CEOs,
industry and though leaders, who has also worked and trained for the British
High Commission, The Supreme Court of Nigeria, National Judicial Institute and
the National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria amongst others.
We realize that there is a gap in the technology industry
especially for women in technology and we want to make mentorship more
accessible and Mfon’s diverse plethora of professional experience would help us
create more viable solutions for women in technology and the industry at large.
As an organization, we are excited about this move and as we build a community that nurtures women in technology everywhere, we look towards the work ahead and the impact we would create together.
