My name is Florence Chikezie, and I am an internationally trained entrepreneurship development expert with a strong track record of guiding entrepreneurs and businesses towards sustainable success.

I earned a Master’s degree in International Business from Hult International Business School in London, a prestigious institution renowned for its excellence in business education. In addition to my academic qualifications, I have built and managed three highly successful businesses: ReDahlia Workspaces, The ReDahlia Business Academy, and Entrepreneurs.ng. Through these ventures, I have had the privilege of working closely with entrepreneurs at various stages of their journey, offering guidance and support in business setup, starting, and scaling.

I am proud to be a nationally certified Business Development Service Provider with a practicing license from SMEDAN, an agency dedicated to fostering the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria. Additionally, I underwent specialized training with Deutschmark Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to serve as an officially recognized MSME Trainer, Facilitator, and Coach.

My commitment to nurturing entrepreneurial talent extends beyond the local level. I have served as a business coach and development expert at the Transform Nigerian Youths Program, an initiative of Mastercard, where I provided counseling, coaching, and mentorship to aspiring entrepreneurs.

Additionally, I participated in the Google Hustlers program with Upskill Digital, coaching two entrepreneurs weekly. Furthermore, as a judge at Africa’s Business Heroes (ABH) Prize Competition, a Jack Ma’s Foundation initiative, I played a key role in identifying and supporting promising entrepreneurs competing for a share of $1.5 million in grant money during the ABH grand finale pitch competition.

Through the Ask an Expert program I have worked with over 100 aspiring and existing entrepreneurs, assisting them in setting up, starting, and scaling their businesses.

In recognition of my expertise, I have been invited to speak at various events where I advocate entrepreneurship as a catalyst for economic development. Notably, I delivered a keynote address at the Bell University Annual Event and was a speaker at PMI’s Africa conference in 2022, emphasizing the pivotal role of entrepreneurship in driving economic growth.

I look forward to working with you to achieve your business goal.
