Nigerian entrepreneur, Sheffy Kolade who is the CEO of Boxes and Basket LLC, has been accepted into the Forbes Business Council, the world’s leading organization for business owners and leaders who want to grow their businesses.
Sheffy was chosen by a panel of experts because of her breadth and depth of experience. A successful track record of influencing business growth metrics, as well as personal and professional accolades and awards, are required for acceptance.
Founder of Forbes Councils, which includes Forbes Business Council, Scott Gerber, expressed the delight of the council at the inclusion of Sheffy Kolade in the Forbes Business Council, an invitation-only community for successful executives and entrepreneurs.
It is a great honor to have Sheffy join us. Our goal with Forbes Councils is to create a curated, social capital-driven network that helps every member grow professionally and make an even greater impact on the business world,” Gerber stated.
Access to exclusive opportunities for Sheffy’s professional development is provided by her membership in the Council. In a private forum and at members-only events, she will meet and work with other respected local leaders. Along with contributing to original business articles on Forbes.com, Sheffy will also be asked to work with a professional editorial team on published Q&A panels with other experts.
When Sheffy accepted the award, she expressed her joy at being recognized and accepted into the global business community.
“It is an honor and a thrill to be included in such an esteemed group as the Forbes Business Council. As a result, I am confident that Boxes and Baskets will become the preferred promotional products and branded merchandise providers for companies in both Lagos, Nigeria, and Texas, the United States of America.
I look forward to helping other women and entrepreneurs while also building meaningful and long-lasting relationships in the community,” Sheffy said.
For more than two decades, Sheffy Kolade has been an innovator and business strategist who has spearheaded Boxes and Baskets Ltd., the company she founded in 2015.
Her leadership skills have helped the company grow from a small start-up to a leading promotional and luxury corporate gift company based in Nigeria and the United States today.
As a businessperson, Sheffy has an eye for new business opportunities, growth, and re-engineering.
The UK’s Warwick Business School and France’s Institut Francais du Petrol educated Sheffy, who brings with him over 16 years of experience in oil and economics.
On the other hand, Sheffy founded the non-governmental organization Children of Haggai Foundation in 2008 to help the underprivileged. Children from low-income families in Nigeria benefit from the work of the foundation.
As a collaboration between Forbes and the community builders who founded the Young Entrepreneur Council, Forbes is a collection of exclusive, invitation-only communities (YEC). Exceptional business owners and leaders gather in Forbes Councils to gain access to the people and resources that can help them succeed.
