A true leader believes in ‘paying it forward’, and Ekpo has exemplified an extraordinary level of commitment to helping create and advance partnerships that will have long-lasting impact. As an esteemed board member of the Board of Industry Leaders and Skylight Digital, Ekpo is not only a problem solver but also an agent of change. Her talents have allowed her to be the community builder that corporations and organizations truly need. With a special interest in women’s gender equality issues, Ekpo takes on some of the toughest challenges that we face as a society and humanizes them in order to open the door for real conversations, change thinking and create tangible engagement solutions.
