What happens when Nigeria’s most influential women in business, leadership and enterprise sit in one room to discuss winning on their own terms?
On October 28, 2026, Executive Coach and CEO of BMO Advisory Services, Bola Matel-Okoh, is bringing that conversation to Victoria Island, Lagos, with the return of her flagship event, The Executive Woman Summit (TEWS 2.0).
Registration is currently open at bolamatelokoh.com/tews.
The Theme: Playing to Win
This year’s theme, “Playing to Win: Elevate Your Vision, Value and Visibility”, is for women who are building, leading, and ready for their next level. From C-suite executives and founders to entrepreneurs, professionals, and emerging leaders — TEWS 2.0 is designed as a space to grow, not shrink.
According to the organisers, the summit will focus on helping women:
– Strengthen their leadership voice
– Build executive presence
– Expand strategic networks
– Position themselves confidently for bigger opportunities
all without compromising who they are.
“Too often, women rise by adapting, minimising parts of themselves, or fitting into leadership models that were never built for them,” said Bola Matel-Okoh.
“Our job at The Executive Woman Summit is to create systems that allow executive women to not only rise, but to stay, thrive, and lead at the highest levels.”
The Speaker Lineup
The stage is already set, and the names speak for themselves:
– Bola Adesola – Chairman, Ecobank Nigeria
– Ibukun Awosika – Founder, The Chair Centre Group
– Dr. Mosun Belo-Olusoga – Chairman, MTN Foundation
– Folake Sanu – Transformational Business Executive & Leadership Strategist
And more industry leaders will be announced in the coming weeks.
Expect honest conversations on leadership, power, influence, personal brand, and building careers and lives that reflect who you are — not just who you’re expected to be.
Beyond The Boardroom
TEWS 2.0 is more than panels and keynotes. It’s curated networking, real conversations, and intentional connection. It’s a room full of ambitious women exchanging ideas, meeting collaborators, and leaving with relationships that extend far beyond the event.
For Bola Matel-Okoh, the goal goes beyond a one-day summit.
“The vision is to build a community where women can rise without shrinking, lead without losing themselves, and be intentional about the value they bring to every room they enter.”
