Nigerian women are proving more and more that they are the moment!
Forbes just released its list of the Most Influential CMOs of 2021 and 2 Nigerian women made the list. Dara Treseder, Global Head of Marketing for exercise equipment company, Peleton; and Ukonwa Kuzi-Orizu Ojo, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Amazon Prime Video & Studios.
Dara Treseder
Forbes describes Dara as – “Born and raised in Nigeria, Treseder is an experienced marketing executive who cut her teeth at Goldman Sachs, Apple and GE. She joined Peleton in August 2020 and quickly made a mark, launching a buzzy partnership with Beyoncé and an ad campaign that centered around customers’ stories. In recent months, Treseder has had to navigate choppier waters as Peloton has recalled more than 125,000 treadmills following the death of a child. She’s vowing that the company is focused on its “North Star” and putting customers first. For this past summer’s Olympics, Treseder and Peloton created a campaign focused on promoting community rather than products: “It’s You. That Makes Us.””.
