Nneka Chiazor believes the future face of wealth is digital
Growing up between Montreal and Lagos, Nneka learned early on the importance of bridging the digital divide and having hope
Nneka is passionate about empowering people who are experiencing what she terms “hope outages”™
A hope outage occurs when a professional disengages from life because they cannot see a path to achieving their career or business aspirations. When Nneka speaks to audiences around the globe, she gives them a three-part solution:
1) drop the superhero cape;
2) have a north star and follow it;
3) compete and collaborate.
Nneka's message is one of empowerment - "you can change your life at any time."
