Coronation WIN Clinches Most Outstanding Women Initiative Launch of the Year Award

Coronation Women Initiative Network (Coronation WIN), a pioneering programme by Coronation Group, has clinched the award for The Most Outstanding Women Initiative Launch of the Year at the 2024 Women in Marketing & Communications Awards (WIMCA).

In addition to this achievement, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer of Coronation Group, Ngozi Akinyele, was celebrated as one of the Top 50 Most Influential Women in Marketing & Communications. The recognition underscores her exceptional leadership, creative vision, and significant contributions to the marketing & communications industry.

The Most Outstanding Women Initiative Launch of the Year award honours Coronation WIN for its innovative and impactful approach to empowering women in the finance and technology sectors. 

Launched in April 2024, the initiative has swiftly gained acclaim for its commitment to fostering female leadership and inclusivity.

Commenting on the award, Chief Talent Officer of Coronation Group, Pai Gamde said: “This award affirms our belief in the power of women to drive transformational change. Coronation WIN was created to activate our women by empowering them with tools, resources, and opportunities to excel in their careers and contribute to a more equitable society. We are humbled by this recognition and inspired to further expand the reach and impact of this initiative.”

Coronation WIN debuted to much acclaim with a launch event that featured inspiring performances, an exhibition at the Coronation Art Gallery and a tour of the Coronation WIN Hub. The initiative aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 5, which focuses on gender equality.

Now in its 10th year, the Women in Marketing & Communications Conference/Awards has become a respected platform, recognising excellence in marketing, communications, and advocacy. Coronation WIN’s victory in the highly competitive category highlights its early impact and sets a benchmark for women-focused initiatives in Nigeria and beyond.
