The Power Of Connectivity With Adia Sowho (CMO Of MTN Nigeria)
Quote:
“I often say to people that you want to be careful how you challenge yourself. You don't want to change too many things at once when changing a job.”
Today’s episode features Adia Sowho, the CMO of MTN Nigeria, and also the first woman to occupy that position.
“I'm not a classic CMO, but interestingly, I think I'm the CMO the tech company needs. I hope to try to, from my role, reconnect MTN to that deeper purpose and start taking the conversation forward. What happens beyond connectivity? How do we make MTN a part of the next bunch of unicorn stories?”
Starting with her first degree in Electrical Engineering, Adia’s career has cut across technology, telecommunications, and finance.
Adia has been referred to as the Sheryl Sandberg of the startup ecosystem and later as the Olivia Pope of the Nigerian tech ecosystem.
Listen and learn how Adia built her track record of creating impactful work in her positions.
