Name: Anne Patricia Agbo

Home country: Nigeria

"With a background in Law and several years of consulting work in the private corporate sector in Nigeria, I wanted to broaden the scope of understanding of corporate governance so the choice of the course of study was a choice in the direction. I am very passionate about providing the right support to boards of directors to ensure that they are effective and deliver on their mandate to the company and all stakeholders. My other interests are travelling and meeting people from different cultures."
