Bio
Olamilekan Solanke
Kemi Lawal speaks excellence, diligence, perfection, competency and an overall great personality to fit into any team. Working with Kemi has been such a flex cause she handles all of her task and responsibilities with little to no supervision and turns over high quality output. She is indeed a reliable individual who works with the vision of the company in view and keeps to the core value in executing her duties. Indeed an overall high performer we can rely on.

Oluwakemi Lawal is an experienced professional with an excellent track record. She majors in HR/Talent Management, Program Management, Project Management, and Brand strategy. She possesses great critical thinking, collaboration, emotional intelligence, and Leadership skills. Working with Kemi on the same project is one thing I always look forward to as she brings her professionalism and great work ethic in discharging her duties. She is hard-working, a goal-getter, and a must-have talent on your team if you need someone to get the job done.

Kemi is a phenomenal, multifaceted professional. She is an HR maestro, a strategist, an exceptional team player, a creative, a humanitarian, a great friend and a leader with a superb work ethic. I have been honoured to work with Kemi for many years in professional settings and beyond. Her energy and passion for achieving the set goals always stood out! You won't encounter people like her very often. Kemi is an asset that any forward-thinking organization would be lucky to have on board.
