Adaobi Nwakuche: Celebrating Imprints Of An Amazon

The personality of Adaobi Nwakuche has become synonymous with the insurance sector of the Nigerian economy. Not only is she one of the most prominent female insurance eggheads in the industry, she is also one of the most patronised corporate amazons. You could choose to describe her using words that project perseverance, handwork, and determination or you address her as a woman with infectious depth and specialisation. No matter what life casts her way, Nwakuche will always find a way to remain on top of her game. The launching of Heirs Holdings’ dual insurance companies, Hil and HLA, on June 1, 2021, has painted a new narrative in the public image of the renowned insurance lady. According to reports, Nwakuche is taking the enviable position of Acting MD of HIL, guaranteeing her a page on the annals of the company’s pioneer leaders. The development came a few days after Nwakuche dedicated her twins to God. The elaborate event was attended by top technocrats, politicians, society buffs and captains of industry, who were entertained with lively and delightful musical tunes. Before now, Nwakuche had kept a low profile, nevertheless, her portfolio of excellent work experiences, particularly in the insurance sector, has made her name to be hallowed in high places of the industry. Nwakuche, a professional with a Ph. D. in Insurance, Risk Management and Corporate Governance, is notable for her contribution to Otega Emerhor’s Standard Alliance. The company retained her services after her one- year mandatory service to her fatherland through the National Youth Service Corps ( NYSC). Her diligence at work earned her promotions until she became the Head, General Business Group of the company. From Emerhor’s Standard Alliance, Nwakuche became a Deputy Director at Dere Otubu’s Staco Insurance. After this, she joined Equity Assurance Plc as its Executive Director ( in 2013). She left for Elumelu’s Heirs Insurance Limited in 2016. With this track record in over 15 years of active service in the insurance sector, those who are more qualified to be the acting MD of HIL can be counted on one hand. Overall, all eyes are on the beauty of the famous Abia State- born Nwakuche who was created for the best that life has to offer.
