The Chief Executive Officer of Optiva Capital Partners, Dr. Jane Kimemia, has been conferred with the U.S. President’s Lifetime Achievement Award for her humanitarian contributions and commitment to community development.
The honour was bestowed on her at the Global Reputation Forum held at the Financial Times Headquarters in London recently.
The US President’s Lifetime Achievement Award, overseen by AmeriCorps and the Office of the President, is among the highest distinctions for individuals whose leadership and service have profoundly impacted their communities.
The Goodwill Ambassador of the State of Georgia, Edna Frenchwood, delivered the award citation. Professor Simon Hepburn of Aston University and Dr. Yvonne Thompson CBE, King Charles’ Deputy Lieutenant for Greater London, presented her with the award.
The citation read in part, “The US Presidency congratulates you for taking it upon yourself to contribute to the public good and women’s empowerment. We are proud to present you with the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Pin today, a distinction that sets you apart as a true leader.
Your exemplary service delivers a powerful message encouraging others to act.”
In her acceptance speech, Dr. Kimemia expressed deep gratitude, saying, “I am deeply grateful to God for this recognition. Reflecting on my 27-year career journey, I am thankful for the opportunities to serve those I’m passionate about and the incredible team at Optiva Capital Partners. This award is a call to continue impacting and leaving a legacy for future generations.”
In addition to the US Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, Kimemia also received the Global Corporate Leadership Award, conferred by the Global Reputation Poll held at the House of Commons UK Parliament. The award acknowledges her significant positive impact on society, influence, and ability to inspire positive change, particularly in Africa. The dual accolades honour her transformative leadership and positive societal influence in Africa.
The Chief Executive Officer of FRSA, Dr. Tonye Idaminabo, emphasised the forum’s mission to celebrate individuals who lead with purpose and integrity and foster meaningful conversations on pressing global issues.
