"Swimming in Uncharted Waters" | Mrs. Kofo Akinkugbe | TEDxArgungu

Kofo speaks about how companies and individuals need to overcome boundaries to inject innovation and create value that impacts not just a community but a continent. Kofo Akinkugbe, a prize-winning graduate of Mathematics of the University of Lagos, spent 12 years in banking, first at the International Merchant Bank (local affiliate of the First National Bank of Chicago) and then as a pioneer staff member of Chartered Bank.

She currently serves as the Managing Director/CEO of SecureID Group (comprising of SecureID and SecureCard Manufacturing). SecureID is a MasterCard, VISA and Verve certified Smartcard Personalization bureau and digital technology company whilst SecureCard Manufacturing is the first polycarbonate Smartcard manufacturing plant producing high security identity cards and documents for the Banks, Telecoms and Public sectors. Both companies, recognised and respected in the global Smartcard industry, provide high- end digital security solutions to organisations and governments across Africa and beyond.

I can't think of a worthy Amazon in Nigeria that KA. Her foresight and ability to strategise very fast beats my imagination. To say she moves with the speed of light is an understatement. More baffling is that she does this in a world where 90% of the tech/manufacturing moguls are men. Kudos to an Amazon.
