Natalie Ojevah MBE
Natalie Ojevah MBE is living proof that resilience can shape purpose. Rather than letting her personal adversity define her, she transformed it into purpose, dedicating her career to innovation, inclusion, and corporate change.
Natalie built the award-winning Barclays Black Founder Accelerator, giving underrepresented entrepreneurs access to mentorship, funding, and growth. Her work has redefined corporate innovation, proving that impact doesn’t just belong to entrepreneurs, it thrives inside organisations when the right people lead from within.
Recognised as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree and awarded an MBE for services to business development and diversity by age 27, Natalie’s influence extends far beyond her day job. She is currently writing her debut book to help professionals innovate from within their organisations, redefining success not as just “climbing the ladder”, but aligning passion with purpose to create meaningful change.
