Mosun Belo-Olusoga
Tribute
What has stood out for us when we learnt about Mosun Belo-Olusoga is how driven she is about education, governance and leadership. From co-founding City of Knowledge Academy, to bringing the same drive to her corporate board and leadership roles. But maybe the most important is how she applies her financial expertise to both business governance at The KRC and mentoring her daughter as a widowed mother. We see the risk management frameworks developed professionally and the nurturing frameworks established personally, the educational institution founded alongside maternal lessons taught.
