We continue to celebrate phenomenal women in the financial sector with our Woman Crush Wednesday; Adeola Ukoha, whose passion lies beyond banking as she helps people build healthy relationships with themselves and with others through her work with ‘Beyond The Surface’, a faith-based NGO that supports children in public Secondary Schools across Nigeria.
Adeola is a senior manager with Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) Nigeria, where she works originating and structuring deals and managing relationships with the Bank’s clients across different sectors in Nigeria.
Adeola’s background in economics from the University of Ibadan put her in good stead for a career in finance and prior to joining RMB Nigeria, she worked with the Treasury team in Atom Bank in the United Kingdom, where she was responsible for Derivatives Trading and Balance Sheet Management. Before her stint at Atom Bank, Adeola has furthered her knowledge of financial mastery with a MBA from Durham University in the United Kingdom.
When she is not attending to financial matters at her 9-5 Adeola offers her time to taking care of incarcerated individuals and provides welfare to other vulnerable members of society through Beyond The Surface NGO and advises on the academic board of Truth Hill University.
Other hobbies she enjoys in her spare time includes gardening, the culinary arts, reading and mentoring. Whereas on the home front she is happily married to a supportive husband and is blessed with two lovely children.
