Power and obedience - Fola Komolafe MBE talks about following God’s grace through her career as a female business leader.

Social entrepreneur and business leader Fola Komolafe MBE, is the first female and first black CEO of World Vision, the largest child-focused charity in the world

“I was a very adventurous child,” Fola Komolafe reflects, “and I cared deeply about everything. I was also extremely competitive,” she adds with a laugh. Even third place in a national maths competition felt like failure to 15-year-old Fola! Perhaps it’s no wonder that this adventurous, compassionate, competitive child grew up to be a successful businesswoman, entrepreneur, CEO and all-round trailblazer for women and ethnic minorities in UK leadership roles.
