About IsiomaAO
Rooted in purpose. Driven by impact. Walking the journey of innovation, inclusion, and intentional leadership.
Welcome to my corner of the digital world.
I am Isioma Asiodu-Otughwor — Senior Advisor, Board Member, Facilitator, Podcaster, and Believer in the power of people, policy, and purpose to shape a more equitable and sustainable future.
For over 13 years, I have worked at the intersection of operations, sustainability, and inclusive leadership — building bridges between business excellence and social progress.
Recognition That Reflects the Mission
I am humbled to be listed among the 50 Most Influential Female Energy Executives by Africa Oil Week (2023) and named one of the Top 200 LinkedIn Voices in Qatar, as well as Top 5 in the Energy Industry.
I carry these recognitions not as titles, but as reminders of responsibility — to keep showing up, lifting others, and driving inclusive growth in spaces where voices like mine are often underrepresented.
A Career Marked by Impact
My career began with curiosity — and it continues with conviction.
From managing multimillion-dollar joint venture assets to leading cross-functional teams of 150+ professionals, I have learned that strategy without people is empty — and leadership without integrity is costly.
My work has focused on:
- ESG strategy development
- Digital transformation
- Risk and innovation leadership
I have stewarded P&L responsibilities, transformed systems, and delivered outcomes that matter — to companies, to communities, and to the climate.
Beyond the Boardroom
Impact is not only measured in metrics — it’s measured in people uplifted.
I co-founded Blazers & Baby and serve as Head of Network for LeanIn Career Mums, platforms designed to empower women navigating career and care. As a global Lean In Certified Facilitator and Advisory Board Member at Lean In Equality, I work to reshape narratives and push boundaries around career progression, motherhood, and equity.
Holding Space for Conversations That Matter
I believe in storytelling as a tool for transformation.
Through my podcasts — WorkTalk and LifeWork by Blazers & Baby — I engage in honest conversations on equity, ambition, motherhood, sustainability, and more. Each episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and act.
