NPG Conference 2024 Attendee
"Thanks to the humility and intentionality of our Chairman/President, Kayode Anifowose, I was connected with the keynote speaker, Mr. Prince Nnah, CEO of Atulo Health. What started as a simple conversation turned into an interview… and eventually, a job offer.
The NPG conference 2024 gave me my first real shot at corporate America, and I cannot imagine if I had missed it. But it didn't stop there. I also met some of the most incredible professionals in Boston who continue to inspire and push me forward.
If you look closely, you'll realize that these aren't just connections, they're doors to endless opportunity. And this isn't just a conference, it's a community that's deeply invested in your growth."
"I landed my current role at Liberty Mutual's Financial Management Program through the power of networking. I attended an NPG (Nigerian Professionals Group) Inaugural event where I connected with industry peers and learned about opportunities I might have otherwise missed.
Those conversations opened the door for me to share my background in finance and economics, ultimately leading to an interview and offer. It's a testament to how valuable professional communities like NPG can be—not just for career growth, but for building relationships that last."
