From Boardroom to Barddie Vision: Rewriting rules of corporate power
After years of navigating the fast-paced corridors of corporate Nigeria, Okeke Esther Ada, a seasoned brand strategist and marketing professional, is forging a new path. She’s shifting gears from conventional KPIs and boardroom metrics to something far more transformational: building platforms that center people, purpose, and long-term impact.
“I’ve lived through the politics, the pressure, and the praise that doesn’t always translate to recognition,” Okeke reflects. “Now, I’m building something to help others survive it – with clarity, dignity, and strategy.”
With a career rooted in market research, brand development, corporate communications, and CSR, Okeke served as Brand Manager, Corporate Sales at one of Nigeria’s leading FMCG organization. But her real superpower lies in turning corporate tools into vehicles for change
