For many women, professional growth is shaped not only by the opportunities available to them but also by the communities that encourage them to pursue those opportunities, recognise their achievements and support them through different stages of their journeys. At Globacom, this understanding continues to shape SheGlows, an internal women’s community designed to foster meaningful connections, shared learning and personal and professional development.
The community’s commitment to these values took centre stage at the third edition of the SheGlows Summit, held on October 17, 2026, at the Mike Adenuga Centre, Ikoyi, Lagos. With the theme Lead. Thrive. Grow., the summit brought together women from across the organisation to exchange experiences, gain fresh perspectives and explore how they can continue to grow as individuals, professionals and members of a supportive community.
While the annual summit provides an opportunity for reflection and connection, the broader significance of SheGlows lies in its continued efforts to create opportunities for women beyond a single event. Since its introduction in 2025, the SheGlows Scholarship Fund has supported four women, with two beneficiaries each year. The community’s mentorship programme, now in its second cohort, also provides a platform for women to share knowledge, learn from experience and strengthen their professional capabilities.
Together, these initiatives reflect Globacom’s approach to women’s development, combining opportunities for learning with the relationships and support systems that encourage sustained growth. The community benefits from the support of Globacom’s leadership, including Chairman Dr Mike Adenuga Jr., whose commitment to employee development has helped create an enabling environment for initiatives focused on building the capabilities of the company’s people.
In a goodwill message presented at the summit by Esther John, Head of Strategy, Office of the Executive Vice Chairman, Globacom’s Executive Vice Chairman, Bella Disu, encouraged women to recognise their potential, embrace opportunities for continuous
