Ruka would speak on the topic 10 Secrets of a successful entrepreneurial career at the #JustWomen Forum on Thursday 27^th March at the National Theatre.

Ruka Sanusi has had a diverse international career to date, starting out two decades ago in the UK working as an international development practitioner and a management consultant with an international consulting organization.  Her career geographic focus has always been Africa, and she has worked in nearly 20 countries across the continent.

She loves the emerging and embryonic character of the continent – “there are so many opportunities and possibilities to unearth, and this has always made the continent very stimulating and inspiring for me to work in professionally.”

She moved to Ghana from the UK a decade ago, and now works with a leading global professional services firm as a management consultant, focusing on business advisory services in the area of strategy and operations.

She turned 40 a few years ago, and began to reflect on a number of issues – one of which was her career and how she could give back to society and the continent at large through her career and life-time professional experiences.  One of the areas that she has given back commonly has been in the area of mentoring and coaching – mentoring and coaching female entrepreneurs in the SME/small and growing business sector.  When she turned 40, she thought she would formalise this through a movement I have termed Alldens Lane.

Through Alldens Lane, she provides business coaching and mentoring to women entrepreneurs.  Women are critical catalysts for meaningful change on the African continent – they form an essential part of the Africa growth and AfricaRising story.  The purpose of Alldens Lane is, through an iterative coaching process, to provide female entrepreneurs with business direction, balanced support and thought provoking business performance and growth analytics, from which they can grow and transform their businesses – and their lives.

One of her favourite quotes is “Offer the world your best” and she’ll be speaking on the topic 10 secrets of a successful entrepreneurial career at the #JustWomen Forum on Thursday 27^th March at the National Theatre.

Don’t miss the opportunity to meet, listen to and  interact with Ruka Sanusi.

Call 0302226013 and 0209307707 to register now!!
