Chief Executive Officer of Ovation’s Glam Limited, Janet O. Oyealume, recently participated in the CEO & Founder Gathering in Lagos, a business networking platform designed to bring together chief executive officers, founders, and business leaders. The event provided an opportunity for entrepreneurs from different sectors to connect, collaborate, and explore new business opportunities. Oyealume, who leads an enterprise focused on event planning, management, and training, brought an event-industry perspective to the gathering.
The CEO & Founder Gathering allowed business owners to meet, exchange ideas, and explore potential collaborations. For business owners operating in specialized sectors such as events, platforms that encourage direct interaction among founders can provide opportunities to develop relationships beyond traditional customer and supplier networks. Oyealume's participation highlighted the importance of bringing professionals from different industries into the same business environment.
As the CEO of Ovation’s Glam Limited, Oyealume represents a business operating across three connected areas: event planning, event management, and training. The combination reflects the increasingly professional nature of the events industry, where clients require not only creativity but also planning, coordination, communication, budgeting, and effective execution. Her presence at the gathering underscored the value of cross-sector participation in an economy where entrepreneurs increasingly seek strategic relationships.
Oyealume emphasized that for many entrepreneurs, business growth extends beyond having a good product or service. Access to the right relationships, partnerships, referrals, knowledge, and business opportunities can also form part of a company’s growth journey. The CEO & Founder Gathering creates a platform for such interactions by bringing business owners into one room to connect, network, pitch, speak, and showcase their businesses.
The gathering is part of a broader effort to create spaces where Nigerian entrepreneurs can interact directly, share experiences, and identify opportunities for collaboration. The Lagos gathering brought together business owners and professionals from different sectors, reinforcing the idea that entrepreneurship does not have to be a solitary journey. For Oyealume and Ovation’s Glam Limited, participation in such platforms provides an opportunity to present the company and engage with a wider community of founders and business leaders.
Ovation’s Glam Limited operates as an Event Planning, Management, and Training School, with Janet O. Oyealume serving as CEO.
