listed Mo Abudu, CEO and Chairwoman of EbonyLife TV among the top
100 business visionaries creating value for the world. The inaugural

woman who made the list. Mo’s position on the list is ahead of the
CEO’s of global institutions such as Snapchat, Linkedin, Spotify,
Zara and Uber, amongst many.
On describing the honour, Ms Abudu said
“This is a big moment for the entire EbonyLife TV team. Our goal
remains to tell African stories and we do that by annually producing
over 1000 hours of premium, original and home grown entertainment
programming content. From Talk, Entertainment, Reality, Comedy,
Drama, Lifestyle and Factual the channel boasts exclusive ownership
of 90% of the content...”
The list was compiled by a team of
analysts who assessed companies from around the world, both public
and private, across many industries. Consideration was placed not
only on what these leaders have created, but how. The panel consulted
a variety of databases, including Glassdoor to gauge employee
sentiment and Wealth-X to chart noteworthy philanthropic missions.

into its third year as the channel of choice in the entertainment
category with the expansion of its operations to more Nigerian
cities, including Abuja, Lagos and Calabar. The channel now
distributes to 49 African countries, including South Africa and
Southern African countries.
