Accelerating Action: How Wakanow is Leading the Charge for Women in Leadership
At Wakanow, gender equality isn’t just a goal—it’s our reality. With women leading two of our three subsidiaries, occupying key executive and leadership roles, and driving innovation across the travel and fintech industries, Wakanow is actively shaping a future where women thrive.
This International Women’s Day 2025, we proudly embrace the global theme “Accelerate Action.” While many companies are just beginning their journey toward gender equity, Wakanow has already taken significant strides:
- Two out of three subsidiary CEOs are women—leading Wakanow Nigeria and Wakanow Rest of Africa.
- Women in strategic leadership positions, including our CFO, regional directors, country managers, VPs, SVPs, and General Managers.
- A workplace culture that champions diversity, mentorship, and equal opportunities for career advancement.
How Wakanow is Accelerating Action
As a company at the forefront of the African travel industry, we recognize that action speaks louder than words. So, this year, Wakanow is:
Strengthening Leadership Pipelines – Investing in mentorship programs and leadership development to propel more women into executive roles.
Fostering an Inclusive Work Culture – Ensuring that every woman at Wakanow has access to the resources and support needed to excel.
Championing Women in Tech & Travel – Leading conversations on how to drive more female representation in travel, technology, and fintech.
A Future of Possibilities
Wakanow is not just celebrating women today—we are accelerating change every day. As we mark IWD 2025, we remain committed to breaking barriers, challenging biases, and creating a world where women’s leadership is the norm, not the exception.
Join us as we continue this journey!
