Glory Enyinnaya

Founder at Kleos Advisory Africa

Lagos, Nigeria

Glory Enyinnaya is the industrious business leader who founded Kleos Advisory Africa, to support entrepreneurship in the continent.

Glory worked with large organisations such as Accenture for several years. But since 2016, she has worked to establish Kleos Advisory Africa. The platform since its inception has created meaningful links between experienced consultants and owners of small and medium-sized enterprises, and through its partnerships with banks has also advised thousands of African entrepreneurs. The vision of the online platform is to ultimately improve quality of life for Africans, and its great work has been recognised by the Global MBA Association as one of the top 50 MBA stories worldwide and as a finalist in the 2017 African Entrepreneurship Award.

Glory is a Prosci-certified change manager, as well as a certified business coach and has a partnership with E-Scan in the Netherlands to develop entrepreneurship skills. She is a writer who contributes to publications such as Harvard Business Review, and has co-authored book chapters published by Routledge and IGI Global. She is also an international speaker who has graced podiums across the world, as well as a teacher, educating students at Pan-Atlantic University’s Lagos Business School on e-commerce and platform strategy.

She has an unparalleled passion for female empowerment and is involved in other women empowerment programmes, participating in initiatives of the African Women Entrepreneurship Cooperative, Cherie Blair Foundation, She Leads Africa, Flourish Africa, Addosser Finance, and Grow Movement, among others.

She also helps entrepreneurs to access funds through her partnership with Business Impact Advisory and as a Regional Partner for Faster Capital. She serves on the board of ACMP Nigeria, Dominican College, and two e-commerce companies.

As she strives for social transformation through technology, she has taken courses offered by Stanford University, MIT, and Wharton Business School. She holds a first-class honours degree in accounting and an MBA from Lagos Business School, and was class valedictorian for both degrees. The Global MBA Association recognised her as one of the Top 6 Best MBA Students in the World, and she was the first African to serve on the Governing Board of the global society Beta Gamma Sigma. She has recently completed a PhD in Management at Pan-Atlantic University.

Lauded as one of the most inspiring women in Nigeria and as an advocate for a better world, Glory Enyinnaya is shaping the technological and business landscapes for social change.

In studying more than 200 senior-level executives in one of Africa’s fastest-growing industries — fintech — the authors found that Western entrepreneurs display three misplaced priorities that have a negative impact on their change-readiness and longevity.
