Leadway, Nigeria’s leading non-banking financial and wellbeing conglomerate, has strengthened its commitment to celebrating, empowering, and amplifying the achievements of women across diverse industries through Hersurred, its women-focused initiative that spotlights impact, leadership, and innovation.
Launched in 2024, Hersurred by Leadway has grown into a dynamic platform that fosters meaningful conversations about leadership, enterprise, creativity, innovation, and impact in collaborations with exceptional women. Over time, the platform has strengthened its commitment to recognising women who are not just participating in their fields but are redefining them.
This year, the women-led initiative will make a bold, intentional shift from acknowledgment to amplification, under the theme “Show Her Off,” focusing on women who are breaking barriers, building sustainable ventures, driving policy conversations, leading in corporate spaces, transforming communities, and shaping culture. These women will be spotlighted at an event that culminates other activities celebrating this year’s International Women’s Month.
Commenting, Chief People Experience Officer of Leadway Group, Kunbi Adeoti, said: “Hersurred by Leadway is more than a community; it is a bold expression of our commitment to inclusion and lasting societal impact. Over time, it has grown into a powerful affirmation of our belief in the strength, resilience, and transformative influence of women across every sphere of life. This year, the initiative celebrates women who are not only excelling but intentionally shaping change — within Leadway and across the wider community.”
“By intentionally highlighting women who are making an impact, Leadway aims to boost visibility that translates into opportunity, birthing influence and grit for every girl child and for woman, everywhere. This is because recognition and representation are a solid foundation for remarkable exploits,” Adeoti added.
On Saturday, March 27, leading women from sectors such as finance, technology, creative industries, entrepreneurship, public service, and social development would be celebrated at a special gathering. Attendees can expect inspiring conversations, insightful sessions, and networking opportunities to foster the depth and diversity of women’s contributions to national development.
Over the past few years, the company has continued to expand the initiative’s impact beyond the shores of the community. Leadway partnered with Heels and Tech, sponsoring women to acquire technology skills in areas such as data analysis, product management, and product design, reinforcing its belief in empowering women through access to knowledge and emerging career pathways. In addition, the initiative will host a skills-acquisition workshop to equip women with practical skills for professional and entrepreneurial growth.
Leadway remains committed to championing the growth, influence, and empowerment of women across every sector, amplifying their achievements, recognising their leadership, and celebrating the impact they continue to make in their industries and communities, while inspiring other women to pursue excellence and lead boldly.
