Leaving corporate to build your own business is not the easy option, and Adeolu Adewumi-Zer has done exactly that. She spent two decades in corporate, ending as CEO of Allianz Nigeria, then turned down private equity to start her own consulting firm.
In this episode of The Upgrade Zone, Daniel Chrzastek talks to Adeolu Adewumi-Zer, founder and CEO of ZER Consulting Africa, about the weekend she decided to back herself, how her first clients came from a year of meeting people with no agenda at all, the tools that let one person mimic a whole support team, and why she now treats saying no as a strategic skill.
If you are in corporate and wondering whether to jump, or already out and wondering whether it gets easier, this one is for you.
