Aku Chiapa

Aku's path to leadership coaching began with a strong foundation in both technology and business. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science and Business Administration from St. John's University, equipping her with the analytical skills and business acumen needed for success.
Leveraging this dual expertise, Aku started her career as a Financial Analyst at Capital One Bank. This experience honed her financial literacy and understanding of client needs. Building on this foundation, she transitioned to Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, a prestigious New York law firm, where she specialized in information management. Here, she tackled complex litigation by building and maintaining databases – a crucial skill for handling vast amounts of legal documentation.
In 2013, Aku embarked on a new chapter, relocating to Nigeria. Pioneering the role of Practice Support Manager at a specialized law firm, she implemented innovative systems to streamline accounting and administration. This experience further solidified her leadership potential and ability to drive positive change.
Aku's commitment to continuous learning is evident in her pursuit of the NYSC certificate and her Executive MBA from Pan-Atlantic University's Lagos Business School. Currently, based back in New York, she's pursuing a part-time Doctorate in Executive Business Administration while sharing her expertise as a leadership development, business transformation, and holistic well-being coach.
