Professional - Onyinye Okonji

My Profile

I am a stickler for great customer experiences, and I believe that timely and easy-to-access financial services are the bedrock for helping people overcome their current financial challenges. I am a Co-Founder of Sycamore, where I lead Business Growth and Brand Management efforts, with over 10 years of professional experience.

As a gender advocate, I support sustainable women-led ventures to expand and find growth opportunities in both advisory and fundraising capacities. I strongly believe that industrious women in business pave the way for diverse thinking and meaningful economic progress by reducing inequalities caused by gender and financial disparity.

Pioneering at a few retail fintech companies laid the foundation for my work at Sycamore. It is an online peer-to-peer lending platform where investors and borrowers can easily access financial solutions with great returns. I acquired highly coveted business start-up and operations experience, which I have successfully translated at Sycamore.

I am an alumna of the prestigious Covenant University and Lagos Business School. I am also an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM) and a member of WIMBIZ.
