Wentors is pleased to announce the arrival of a new board member who will provide further knowledge and insight to our efforts in the personal development business. We have worked tirelessly over the last year to ensure that even more women in technology engage and are retained in the field, and we have done so by giving these goees with access to expert assistance from women in top-tier firms throughout the world.
“We are not in a hurry to fill up board member roles, but one thing we are intentional about doing is that as we find the people we are looking for and as the opportunity presents itself, we take it,” EduAbasi said as she made this announcement to the team at Wentors before deciding to make the news public.
“We believe the timing and person are both right for us. Mfon Ekpo has championed the cause and has received national and international recognition for helping women in Africa, Europe and the United States translate their ideas into strategic income-generating and sustainable businesses in diverse industries including tech. It is this wealth of knowledge and expertise she brings to Wentors. We know as we intensify our drive to nurture women in technology everywhere, Mfon Ekpo is the right addition to the board.”
“We realize that there is a gap in the technology industry especially for women in technology and we want to make mentorship more accessible and Mfon’s diverse plethora of professional experience would help us create more viable solutions for women in technology and the industry at large. As an organization, we are excited about this move and as we build a community that nurtures women in technology everywhere, we look towards the work ahead and the impact we would create together.”
