LeaderX & Women in Tech Join Forces to Empower Women Leaders in Digital Industry

LeaderX, a pioneering personal development and leadership company, has announced an exclusive partnership with Women in Tech (WIT), a global advocacy group present in over 100 countries. This collaboration aims to enhance efforts in helping professionals and progressive individuals accelerate their leadership skills across all areas of their lives, ultimately resulting in increased representation of women in leadership positions.

The partnership will grant women access to high-quality technological training, notably through WIT's VBank-Women in Tech Nigeria Makeathon project. Through this initiative, at least 1500 Nigerian women will receive leadership skills and workplace preparation necessary to excel in the fast-paced digital sector.

LeaderX, founded in June 2022, has revolutionized personal transformation with its cutting-edge mobile app. The app provides tailored leadership insights, including productivity tools, bite-sized lessons, and perspectives from world-class leaders. It enables individuals and organizations to develop leadership skills using a non-traditional approach, accessible anytime and anywhere, addressing common barriers such as time constraints, limited access, financial constraints, and more.

LeaderX has already made a significant impact on professionals and businesses by dedicating itself to inspiring personal and organizational growth. On the other hand, Women in Tech has been at the forefront of closing the gender gap in Nigeria's IT industry. Through initiatives like the VBank Women in Tech Nigeria Makeathon, numerous young women are given opportunities to advance their technical knowledge, fostering a collaborative, creative, and innovative environment.

The partnership between LeaderX and Women in Tech unites two organizations with a shared goal of inspiring young women to assume leadership roles in the digital industry. By combining WIT's commitment to developing tech skills with LeaderX's expertise in personal development, this collaboration aims to create a comprehensive platform that accelerates the progress of ambitious female tech leaders.

Kemi Ogunkoya, CEO of LeaderX, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to work with Women in Tech to enhance our purpose of helping people fulfill their full leadership potential. By combining our unique resources with WIT's expertise in teaching young women tech skills, we can inspire a new generation of female leaders who will shape the future of the technology space in Nigeria and beyond."

Solape Akinpelu, Country Manager, Women in Tech Nigeria, and CEO of HerVest, a women-focused and inclusive fintech platform, highlighted the value of the partnership, saying, "Partnering with LeaderX allows us to provide our participants with invaluable personal development resources in addition to the technical skills they acquire during the VBank Women in Tech Makeathon 2.0. With the help of this alliance, we hope to develop an experience that will help young women become leaders in the IT industry."

Through this collaboration, LeaderX and Women in Tech will integrate LeaderX's comprehensive leadership content, covering aspects such as lifestyle, communication, lifelong skills, character development, competence, and mindset, into WIT's programs. This partnership aims to provide young women in both rural and urban areas of Nigeria with a well-rounded education.

By leveraging their respective strengths, LeaderX and Women in Tech have the potential to profoundly impact the lives of young women, enabling them to succeed in the IT sector and rise as influential leaders in the future.
