“Goodmorning beautiful people. I’m excited to let you know that I have accepted an appointment from Harvard Business School, as an Executive Fellow. Officially, I started fellowship yesterday, September 30th!

The Executive Fellows Program leverages the expertise of outstanding practitioners, including alumni, each of whom partners with HBS faculty members to bring their experience in business into the MBA program and the School.

HBS Executive Fellows comprise non-faculty affiliates who contribute to the school through a rich set of co-curricular activities, based on their work and life experiences.

Truly, it is an honour and a privilege for me to take up this appointment as an HBS Executive Fellow and to share experiences.

My primary focus will be in research, with some instruction and advisory/coaching for MBA students.

I will be producing a unique, fascinating and exciting project, in collaboration with HBS faculty, during my time here.

I look forward to telling you more about this project soon! My special thanks to Professor Henry McGee, Professor Andy Wu, Professor Feng Zhu, and the entire Harvard Business School team for making this happen.

Andy, thank you for the introductions to Professor Kong Luo and Professor Tarum Khanna. Alyssa, thank you so much for getting me set up, with my concentration room, in logistics, and all.

Last but not least, I still remain the CEL of the EbonyLife Group; this appointment is part time for an agreed period.

I will spend my time between Boston, London, Los Angeles, and Lagos over the next few months. To the EbonyLife Team, thank you. We move with love”.
