Knowing how to build and run a really solid business and be successful
at it does not come easily. And facilitating serious and lucrative
international connections and transactions between companies and
countries is also not a mere feat. What’s more, oftentimes, what gets
an international business going is not just the novelty of the product
or service but understanding how to build relationships across
cultures and local distribution channels.
For businesses to have cordial relations and mutually profitable
partnerships across continents as seen through import and export,
countries and companies must rely on each other for particular goods
and services. And these relationships and partnerships don’t just
happen. They are made possible through professional and innovative
consultancy.
Dr Nneka Ebru Okpe is of cross-continental parentage. She is
passionate about being a part of development of nations through
businesses. Interestingly, she is one of those who are particularly
committed to helping Nigeria develop through business and guiding the
growth of her (Nigeria) future international business partners aiming
to create a culture of high standard, especially in the service
sector.
Armed with the requisite entrepreneurial skillset, Dr. Okpe runs a few
companies that specialise in consultancy and export-import. She also
builds and facilitates business forums between states, governments and
the private sector.
Currently, her firm, Intrasolutions Consultancy is expanding its focus
on manpower supply and services having created foreign and local
partnerships with established companies to demonstrate the standard it
aims to achieve nationwide.
She is the Lead Consultant as well as owner of the company in both
countries which supports and assists companies that invest in Nigeria
by preparing feasibility reports, market research, corporate
negotiations, and corporate investigations. Intraslutions also
arranges trips for sector-focused groups and exhibitions. The
consultancy aims to create a standard that leads to success with local
empowerments.
With a cutting-edge business culture and strategic vision designed
with clients’ needs in mind, Intrasolutions is well-positioned to be a
leading solution-based consultancy.“Our operating strategy is tailored
to meet each client’s needs in a superior fashion at a reasonable
cost. In addition to our strategic service vision, we apply our best
service to Nigerian clients and to those who deliver the service and
oversee its delivery in new or different ways.“Our competitive
advantage is that we’ve built the culture of both a sense of pride in
our service delivery and a sense of identification with what our
company stands for,” she explained.
In fact, Dr. Okpe is so committed to fostering the culture of high
standard in businesses in Nigeria as well. Dr. Okpe who completed her
Ph.D. at the age of 26 with extensive research on the effect of
culture in business success in emerging nations believes in
women-in-business, women empowerment, sharing and transferring
technology between developed and developing nations, creating a
standard in manpower, business, and services.
She has been a facilitator of businesses between Turkey and Nigeria
since 2015 and is currently focusing on the Nigerian market,
especially in oil and gas and manufacturing sectors.“In my
professional life, I aim to enhance, develop and sustain businesses to
be part of globalisation, especially in developing nations. I have
focused on business relationship between Turkey and Nigeria in every
sector for many years. While doing business between these countries, I
share my experiences with other industries that focus on the same
markets.
In addition to doing business, I teach and train companies on business
strategies, supply chain, human resource and in many other aspects of
the business. I see business as a lifestyle and I am passionate about
solving problems by developing relationships between people, business
and countries,” she explained. Along with consultancy, an arm of
Intrasolutions brings in raw materials for FMCG products into Nigeria
to sell to multinational companies.“Delivering to high expectations of
multinationals and attracting smaller medium-size enterprises to
comply with standard is at the heart of what we do.”
