Edith’s leadership journey takes a significant leap as she embarks on a new role as a Member of the Supervisory Board at AIESEC International. AIESEC, a global youth movement, holds a profound belief that youth leadership isn’t merely an option but a responsibility. Their mission, rooted in the pursuit of peace and the fulfillment of humankind’s potential, traces back to its establishment in 1948, post-World War II. Founded by students from seven countries with a dream to foster cross-cultural understanding and international cooperation, AIESEC has evolved into the world’s largest youth-led organization. With operations spanning over 118 countries and territories, AIESEC engages youth leaders across sectors, including private businesses, governments, NGOs, and the United Nations, driving impactful change on a global scale.

In addition to her role at AIESEC, Edith, alongside business and economic growth consultant Just Omomo Ibe, spearheads a groundbreaking initiative aimed at addressing inequality across the African continent. Together, they proudly present the African Government Stakeholders Engagement Forum (AGSEF), an NGO founded by The Just Ibe Company and The Association of African Startups (TAAS AFRICA), in collaboration with Arielle for Africa LTD and other African stakeholders.

AGSEF stands as a testament to Edith’s unwavering commitment to leadership and societal advancement. Through this initiative, Edith and her partners seek to foster meaningful dialogue, collaboration, and action among African government stakeholders, paving the way for a more inclusive and prosperous future for all. With her visionary leadership and dedication to driving positive change, Edith continues to leave an indelible mark on the global stage, inspiring others to follow in her footsteps.
