Creating content as a lawyer, HR professional and literary curator.
Long before her name became synonymous with #NaijaHRChicSeries with Ijeoma Ucheibe, and her new podcast – Naija HR Chic Podcast where she talks about human resources related content and it’s interaction with the law, she worked as the Chief Operating Officer at The Bar List, a flagship recruitment firm tailored for lawyers and law firms in Nigeria and is currently the Senior Consultant at IU Advisory Services – a boutique consulting firm which provides HR advisory, consultancy and training services at affordable prices complete with a customized options for businesses.
As a Senior Human Resources Professional with over a decade of employment-related and
operational experience, I step into work every day with the driving desire to serve people
and ultimately help the organisation achieve their collective goals.
As the Chief Operating Officer at The Bar List, I was responsible for improving the business
operations of the organisation, assisting employees and managers with streamlining their
workflow and improving productivity across board. This has certainly been helpful in
preparing me for my current management role within the human resources function in the
past decade.
Many of my colleagues have described me as empathetic, smart, resourceful and a team
player. In my years of experience in a management role, I have learned quite a bit from my
various experiences, and understand that the employee always comes first for an
organisation to excel.
I am respected by my colleagues and management for my expertise in visualizing the big
picture and translating vision into a reality by providing directional leadership and
transforming organizations into the high-performance culture.
