From being celebrated as an awardee in 2004 to joining the steering committee — why GLOBALWIIN continues to inspire and drive real change.
It’s an honour to have witnessed the incredible impact GLOBALWIIN has made in empowering women globally — supporting innovation, invention, and entrepreneurship in the most meaningful ways.
I was first celebrated as one of the awardees back in 2004. That moment marked the beginning of a long-standing connection with a network that uplifts and champions women change-makers across the world. More than twenty years later, that connection has deepened into something I am genuinely proud to be part of.
Today, I’m honoured to be part of the GLOBALWIIN journey in a new way — as a member of the steering committee and part of the programme management team for the 2025 GLOBALWIIN Summit of Roundtables, Showcase & Awards Ceremony in London this October.
The world doesn’t just need more innovation. It needs inclusive innovation — ideas and solutions that emerge from diverse voices, perspectives, and lived experiences.
Our remarkable founder, Dr Bola Olabisi FRSA, is a visionary leader and global advocate for inclusive innovation. Her calibre, insight, and tireless dedication continue to drive a movement that transforms lives and unlocks potential around the world. I am grateful every day to be part of a community she has built with such purpose and generosity.
Let the countdown to October begin.
