Obioha Chijioke

I am a Cornell University graduate who thinks global and acts local. I developed this perspective working, learning, and living across New York City, Washington D.C., and Nigeria, with ambitions to go far east soon.

My activity is rooted in curiosity, industriousness, and prudence. I am a student of history striving to live up to the meaning of “Obioha.”

Be it through entrepreneurship or service, I am building capability to lead tomorrow.
