Ifeoma Okafor

I have a robust background in business, with years of experience in B2B and B2C businesses across Consulting, Professional Services and Media. My expertise spans strategic planning, marketing and operations, all of which are crucial areas for entrepreneurial success.

I have successfully mentored and coached numerous entrepreneurs and business owners, helping them develop their strategies, improve their operations, and achieve growth. My mentorship has consistently led to tangible positive outcomes for the businesses I have supported.

Having studied the business environment in Africa, I possess a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that entrepreneurs in the continent face. This knowledge enables me provide relevant and impactful guidance.

I am passionate about Women’s Economic Empowerment. Through organizations such as International Finance Corporation (IFC), Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF), She Leads Africa (SLA), VC4A, WIMBIZ, Grow Movement, Lighthouse Women’s Network, Lady2Lady Initiative, I mentor and coach high-potential female founders across Africa, providing them with support to build thriving enterprises that creates jobs and transforms lives.

Mentorship gives me the opportunity to make a difference and add value to the entrepreneurship ecosystem in Africa. It also provides me a unique platform to gain deeper insight and understanding of businesses and sectors within the startup ecosystem, while forging new connections and networks.
