Inspirational, Hardworking, and Innovative

I believe that we are all fundamentally capable of manifesting the extraordinary. Inspired by my mother A.C. (Ada Charity Obikwere aka Mmachi) a chemist, author, speaker, mother, wife and guardian, I learned that life and living is a privilege to encounter! A.C. combined her brilliance with extraordinarily humility and infectious kindness! A.C. facilitated the training of hundreds of young Nigerians as physicians all over the world, as a co-author of the leading chemistry text at the time, she dedicated herself to making learning robust and accessible! As an entrepreneur A.C. created and shared original formulations for consumption, health, beauty and wellness. It was A.C. that told me to study Physics, that it would serve as a game changing catalyst in my career and it did! It was A.C. that brought me to the U.S. Thank you Mmachi, you are loved for ever!

My background is a combination of over two decades of Physics, Electrical Engineering, product development, business leadership, senior management and executive leadership, venture capital, entrepreneurship and business development. Eventually making the leap from from Private Sector to Public Sector supporting small businesses and engaging on regulations, policy and advocacy and eventually a return to Private Equity, entrepreneurship, academics, Global Economics and Africa! I have had the priviledge to work in Asia, Africa, Europe, Middle East and North America.

As a Keynote, panelist, speaker, consultant and adjunct in Physics, Business and Entrepreneurship, I have engaged with numerous institutions including, Lehigh, Pittsburgh, UVA, UDel, Harvard, Columbia, Yale, AUST, Georgetown, TEDxLehighRiver, VOA and other global media and working with numerous ecosystems that support people!

I am also an avid collector and retailer of the magnificent art of Africa
