Permit me to make a proper introduction.
Meet Anthonia Adenaya Huard, Regional Director, North & West Africa, & also Strategic Projects Director, Middle East & Africa, Business Sweden that’s the easier name to call (The Swedish Trade & Invest Council).
If her double pronged designation above doesn’t immediately register the weight of her immense influence, then perhaps you haven’t quite grasped the calibre of the woman we’re talking about here.
She is one of those exceptional professionals (quiet & humble) who quietly but powerfully help shape the future of legitimate businesses across continents, building strategic bridges, unlocking opportunities, facilitating investments & making meaningful things happen where it truly matters. That’s the stratospheric level she operates on.
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting her at ACM (@africacreativemarketglobal) founded by the extraordinary maven Dr. Sarah Inya Lawal, where Anthonia was one of the keynote speakers. From the very 1st moment, one thing became crystal (illuminatingly) clear: this is intelligence in its most elegant form. She is all smarts walking on two feet, graceful, insightful, articulate & remarkably accomplished. She comes to Nigeria a lot too.
As I have continued to say, ACM is undoubtedly one of the greatest arenas for the global creative economy. It is where ideas collide, innovators connect, partnerships are forged, & inspiration finds fresh wings. Every serious creative should aspire to experience it.
Today, I have simply chosen to celebrate excellence. So a standing ovation to this beauty with brains. A salute to a Nigerian woman whose brilliance continues to resonate on the global stage.
Encomiums to a true global queen, who shuttles between Sweden 🇸🇪, Nigeria 🇳🇬 & Morocco 🇲🇦, an unrelenting Amazon of business, proving once again that wherever Nigerians are given the opportunity to excel, they seldom just participate… they leave enduring footprints.
