In a recent interview, Omogiafo credited her mentors and peers who have played important roles in her life for contributing to her success.
“In life, one must always acknowledge and understand the role of the grace of God in everything that is done, and I am no different,” she said.
“Preparedness, hunger for success, and value creation have propelled me to achieve results in my career journey. From reading GMAT and GRE textbooks as we prepared for entry-level exams to executing my role as President of Transcorp Group, I continue to be guided by these. One definition of luck that I love is preparedness meeting opportunity.”
In addition to her business acumen, Owen is a role model for women in leadership and a passionate advocate for youth empowerment and entrepreneurship.
