👋 Hey, I'm Wamide.

I’m a corporate leader with 12+ years of experience building and leading teams across tech, energy, and consulting in Africa and Europe. I help mindful professionals find flow and alignment in their lives and careers - whether that means a career pivot, a bold next move, or a life-changing reset.

Been coaching and writing here since 2022 (see old posts).

So if you’re ready to build a career that feels as good on the inside as it looks on paper, you’re in the right place.

A bit more about me…

I’ve had quite the career journey.

Frontend Developer → Management Consultant → Operations Manager → Business Transformation Manager → Growth & Partnerships Director.

I switched career paths five times before I turned 30.

I landed my first job as a frontend developer at Jumia in 2013. A year later, I pivoted into IT audit and then consulting at PwC, followed by a career break to pursue an MBA in 2018. After my MBA, I joined a supply chain startup to lead business operations, moved to an energy servicing company to head their strategy and business transformation team, and today, I work in growth and partnerships at a fast-growing tech startup.

Fun fact: my current role is the longest I’ve stayed anywhere - 3 years and counting.

At first, every transition felt confusing. I thought I always needed to start over or feared I wouldn’t thrive in new fields since I hadn’t “paid my dues” in them. But 5 years into my career, I had an epiphany: with each move, I gained clarity and a stronger sense of alignment. I began to trust my ability to navigate unknowns and make unconventional transitions.

Now, I help others do the same.

Through coaching, community, and content, I’ve helped 100+ coaching clients find clarity, flow, and alignment in their work and life. My digital resources have been downloaded 300+ times, I’ve spoken at 25+ events, and I continue to champion gender equity as a non-profit founder at CAWSTEM - helping early-career African women in STEM kickstart their careers with clarity and confidence.
