The FM speaks to Tina Eboka, chair designate at Omnia Holdings
My tip would be to make sure one understands the business, what it does and how it makes money; you should know the management team’s skills and competences, and make sure you share the same values.While at university I worked in the library. It was a great opportunity to study and be spoiled for reading material. I was also a mathematics tutor.I can’t recall the value of it, but it was enough to enable me to afford to make phone calls home every week while in the US as a student.
Was there ever a point at which you wanted to trade it all in for a different career? And, if so, what would that career be? Haha — I sometimes wish I had followed the advice of my high school career counsellor to be a lawyer. But I love that I was trained as an engineer.I would say it’s leadership in the different areas of business, politics and religion. We forget we need well-experienced managers everywhere, as well as good management skills. It’s about getting things done and delivering results responsibly.I love having fun. I take work seriously, but I don’t take myself seriously. I entertain a lot.
The second lesson is that you don’t have to solve all problems in the media space. A lot of the problems we have in this country we really solve by sitting face to face with someone and hearing each other.It’s all about hard work. And after each milestone there’s another milestone, and many more challenges to the next milestones.I would look very seriously at the strategy for the country and at the teams tasked to deliver and implement the strategy.
