Register for our webinar with Bolanle Williams-Olley now: https://bit.ly/3MoyHM3 Host Kendall Fisher and guest co-host Megan O'Brien, NetSuite business and finance editor, join Mancini Duffy CFO and author of “Build Boldly,” Bola Williams-Olley. She starts by explaining her inspiration behind the book (5:25) before diving into her early life, her decision to study math and how that played a role in landing her first job as a junior project accountant for HLW architecture firm in 2007 (8:45). Bola discusses the challenges and lessons learned as a young accountant during the 2008 recession, all of which helped her take on her next role as senior project accountant for Skidmore Owings & Merrill (13:25). In this role, she learned how a cohesive team drives success and efficiency for services-based businesses, focusing on seamless communication with the project team and client (17:30). She then takes us on the journey to Mancini Duffy, which put her in uncharted territory once again as a controller (22:13). She discusses the challenges that are specific to a controller and the KPIs she was tracking (25:57), as well as the importance of employee engagement and developing the team to help her succeed (35:39). All of that made her transition to CFO in 2018 fairly seamless (42:21), although she notes becoming far more focused on long-term planning (44:11). Bola also explains how her priorities changed due to the pandemic, from working with various suppliers to hold on payments, to finding resources needed to finish jobs amid “The Great Recession” (48:01). Finally, she hits on the impact of technology as CFO (53:52) and dishes her advice for being a “bold” finance leader (55:48).Like what you learned?

Today's Guest, Bolanle Banwo is a brand Identity designer from Lagos, Nigeria. She helps brands tell compelling stories via creative designs. Much of her work is centered around helping small and medium businesses create smart impressions and build strong identities via good communication designs. Bolanle is the Founder and Lead Creative at the Female Designer Movement, an initiative she launched with a mission to train and equip women with design skillset and thereby help increase the number of women in the Nigerian Technology ecosystem. She may be found online on Instagram @bolanle.banwo, where she occasionally shares her work and projects. She talks about how the choices we make shape our world view and realities and loving what we do. “Creativity is the person and process not just the tools…” My Take Away from Today's Episode Our experiences shape us for the journey ahead Most times we underestimate our abilities and capabilities Once we get a taste of what we can do and the value we bring, the possibilities are limitless To design you need to study other people's design, know what works in them and improve on your own style Just keep on doing what you know best to do, stay committed and dedicated, it will pay off. Demystifying the Myths The myth that females cannot thrive in Tech or design is wrong, women and ladies are well able and capable to thrive in the Creative Industry.
