Despite always feeling disregarded and like the underdog, growing up underprivileged inspired her to help women get on the career ladder.  Victoria was raised in a low-income family and started making her own money at the age of eight by selling cakes in her state. She set her eyes on a university and was admitted into the Foundation Year programme at Warwick Business School and was later progressing to a full Undergraduate degree. As she has always spirit to inspire hope and rally for social equity, Victoria believed it was important to share her experience with others to help bridge the gap between socioeconomic backgrounds and increase access to opportunity.  Victoria is now the Founder and CEO of The Us Group, which aims to offer opportunities for women to meet and connect with great organisations. She quit her corporate job just to pursue her dream of helping women become the best versions of themselves.  Find out more about Victoria Azubuike via LinkedIn, Instagram, & Website.
