We are thrilled to announce that our CEO, Mrs Olubunmi Otufowora, has been selected as a finalist for the 2024 Top 50 African Business Heroes. This achievement comes after a rigorous selection process from a pool of 20,000 highly skilled and accomplished entrepreneurs.
African Business Heroes (ABH) is an initiative founded by Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba Group, and it serves as a beacon of hope for African entrepreneurs. The program’s mission is to identify, support, and inspire African entrepreneurs, showcasing the potential and resilience of the continent’s business community.
Despite facing rejection in our first application in 2022, we utilized the feedback from ABH to enhance our business processes and achieved the goals we had stated we wanted to achieve. This selection is a testament to our resilience and commitment. Boomsky Smoothies is a mission-driven, innovative, and passionate business, and this recognition is just the beginning of our impactful journey.
We are resolute in using this platform to amplify our mission of reducing food wastage in Nigeria and addressing the challenges in the agricultural supply chain. We aim to make a significant and lasting impact, and we are committed to this vision.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to African Business Heroes for this fantastic opportunity. We are truly grateful for the recognition and the chance to further our mission.
