02 / About Elizabeth Adebanjo

Insight into strategy.
Strategy into growth.

I'm Elizabeth, a marketing and communications professional connecting product, brand and commercial growth.

With over eight years' experience launching and scaling eCommerce, FinTech and B2B2C marketplace products across Africa and Europe, I use communications as the thread that ties strategy to delivery. I develop product positioning, build integrated campaigns and manage strategic communications, then let the data decide what happens next. As an experienced corporate event host, I also represent brands on stage, on podcasts and in media interviews, communicating with credibility and clarity to executive, customer and press audiences.
