Our Woman Crush Wednesday is none other than Adeolu Adewumi-Zer. She is a global strategist and transformation leader who has held a number of key executive positions within the Allianz Group.
Adeolu is currently the Managing Director/CEO of Allianz Nigeria Insurance Ltd. Prior to serving in her current role, she was the Regional Head of Mergers, Acquisitions and Transformation Africa for the Allianz Group. She was appointed the first female board member for Allianz Nigeria in 2019. And since 2000, she has worked in global financial services across numerous mature and emerging markets, beginning her career in the USA as an Actuarial and International Benefits Consultant within the Aon Group.
Living the Nigerian dream, this self-described Afro-optimist, with absolute conviction in the immense potential existing within the African continent mentors, coaches and sponsors tomorrow’s leaders. She does this by volunteering mentoring services to several organisations, as well as sharing her knowledge and experiences via podcasts, webinars, conferences and publications.
In addition to her responsibilities at Allianz Nigeria, Adeolu is married with two children. Though a busy working professional, she dedicates her time to lifelong running, voracious reading, and discovering new countries and cultures. Who wouldn’t want Adeolu Adewumi-Zer as a role model? She is the full package of a woman of substance. That is why we are celebrating her all the way.
