Equifam Spotlight: Gladys Ajogwu

Meet another awesome member of the Equifam — Gladys.

How long have you been part of the Equifam and what’s your current role?

I’ve been part of Equifam for about 6 months now and I work with the venture team as a Venture Support Associate.

What does your job entail?

My job involves everything from the pre-listing stage to the post listing.
For the pre-listing stage it involves due diligence meeting ensuring the viability of businesses to be listed. For the post listing stage it involves investment memo detailing the business, it’s market and the rationale behind the listing. I also provide venture support for listed businesses around their needs as well as reports and other information.

What’s your day-to-day like?

My day-to-day involves meetings, follow up calls and report writing.

What would you say motivates you to open slack everyday?

What makes me open slack everyday, outside the need to keep up with work related information and revert or escalate things, amebo is the next reason I open slack ooo. There is never a dull moment with Equifam, I need to know who is on the table for drags,lol

How has your career grown since joining GetEquity?

Before GetEquity, the Venture space was not one I was familair with. Hence, there was a whole lot of learning on the job for me, at the start some things were not clear. Six months in and my understanding of the space has improved as well as my interest. It also provides a platform to meet other people who outside just getting the job done is invested in making sure I understand and have clarity of purpose.

What is your favourite thing about working at GetEquity?

Favourite thing about working here is the fact that I can hit anybody up from the founding team to other colleagues and get response and another is the work environment. GetEquity knows how to ensure that outside work, the team has fun also.

What’s something you’re planning on doing in the next year that you’ve never done?

I’ve always wanted a beach house experience but haven’t gotten around that yet

Before we go, tell us a fun fact about you

Fun fact about me, hmmmm let me think. It will be my singing prowess but my friends argue that I cannot.
