Founder and CEO TheBoardroom Africa (TBR Africa), Marcia Ashong has been recognized as one of the 100 Most Influential People of African Descent (MIPAD) in the 100Under40Edition of #Class2022.  

MIPAD was set up as part of the International Decade for People of African Descent, proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly resolution 68/237 and to be observed from 2015 to 2024.

MIPAD identifies high achievers of African descent in public and private sectors from all around the world as a progressive network of relevant actors to join together in the spirit of recognition, justice and development of Africa, it's people on the continent and across it's Diaspora.

Marcia recognition was under the Business and Entrepreneurship category for her spirited leadership role in champion the inclusion and elevation of talented women onto boardrooms across a wide range of public and private corporate organizations across the entire African continent.

TheBoardroom Africa officially launched in 2016, but it had in many ways been operating years before then.
According to Marcia, her own journey navigating corporate ranks as a young executive, inspired the desire to build what has now become Africa’s most vibrant community of female executives.

"What started with a handful of women across a few countries, has now developed into a continent-wide movement for change," she said.
