Speaker

Across her 20-year career working in leadership roles with Global Fortune 100 corporations, Jimi Okubanjo delivered transformations in 14 countries and four continents with over 200 leaders. Jimi produced the documentary Arise Firebird due to her deep multi-industry experience and her first-hand knowledge of what senior and experienced female leaders of color often face in the workplace.

Jimi's experience in the corporate world was one in which trauma was normalized and internalized. After a wide variety of traumatic experiences, which ranged from having my credentials minimized to being harassed and told that "they should have hired a white man to do your job" and placed in physically dangerous situations.
