iry tale but the true story of the rise and rise of the Executive Director, Finance and Strategy of Credit Direct Limited, Mr. Chukwuma Nwanze, who is a well-rounded financial manager and management consultant with experience in financial control, performance management, integration, and strategic planning. Nwanze’s experience is uniquely shared to inspire and persuade.Growing up, my parents repeatedly told me that being educated was a critical requirement if I was to be successful.
My first MD/CEO influenced my career a lot. He never treated me like a fresh accountant. He pushed me to my limits even though I was relatively young and he assured me that if I followed his lead, I would climb the corporate ladder quickly. I am still inspired by a lot of people today.There were two experiences I considered as turning points in my life. First, not passing my Physics examination was a disappointing experience. It was the first time I did not succeed at a thing.
The second experience further strengthened my determination to succeed. I had studied till late in the night while I was preparing for my final Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria ,ICAN, examination, unaware that it was about to rain, I stayed later than normal where I studied in Maryland. I lived at Abule-Egba at the time. There was heavy rain in Lagos, everywhere was messy and the transport fares went up. I was tired, hungry and very frustrated.
I was sad, said a prayer and resolved in my heart that whatever it would take to have a better life I was going to pursue it.That event made me study harder and thankfully, I passed my qualifying examinations to become a chartered accountant.There are many honest routes to the top that do not follow the norm. People should think differently. No one should define your path in life. While people may guide or offer advice, you are ultimately responsible for the outcomes you see in your life.
Being a father to two fantastic kids is what I consider my greatest achievement. I am also thankful for how my career has progressed so far. I achieved a respectful position in my career at a relatively young age and I am thankful for that. The values that have contributed to making you who I am today include faith, stewardship, diligence, and empathy.
