ANTHONIA OGUNDELE
FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,
ETHÓS LAB
A
typical day in the office for a resilience
professional like Anthonia Ogundele might
include evacuating a community from
a flood or forest fire, managing an IT disaster
recovery, facilitating a large-scale transition in
government or creating a business continuity plan
in the midst of a major emergency. Intimidat-
ing stakes, for sure. But nothing Ogundele can't
handle. "It's actually comfortable for me—when
you're an entrepreneur, emergency management
gives you the right skills to be able to handle
anything," she says.

"We really
are doing
something
different and
transformative
for every young
person, not just
in the projects
that they
are creating,
but in their
confidence,
courage and
sense of
belonging."
