The Bold Woman Award is inspired by Madame Clicquot and to celebrate 200th-anniversary, in which Veuve Clicquot pays homage

What comes to your mind when you hear the word “Bold”? For Veuve Clicquot, it’s about celebrating the efforts of incredible women in whose lexicon the word “impossibility” has no place. Inspired by the audacity of Madame Clicquot and to celebrate the House’s 200th-anniversary Veuve Clicquot decided to pay homage to this great, daring woman…

The Bold Woman Award will recognize one exceptional female Nigerian leader who will join the ranks of an illustrious list of over 410 audacious women honored by this prestigious award in 27 countries. This award ceremony was inspired by Madame Clicquot, a trailblazer who embodied resilience and courage when she took the reins of running the Veuve Clicquot House during a time when women were not allowed to work or own a business.

Despite all odds, Affiong was able to push ReelFruit forward in both the Nigerian and international markets, building 700 stores nationwide and bringing about one of the biggest innovations in agribusiness. Winning the Bold Woman award, according to Affiong would be, “an acknowledgment of my achievements and my drive to build a business that lasts in Nigeria.”A word that best describes this female entrepreneur is bold. This word choice is largely due to her nature as a serial entrepreneur, which entails taking several risks to have an impact on society.

Looking back, Ifedayo is proud of how the economic space has evolved to be more habitable for women. “I’m excited to see more women working in spaces that were previously dominated by men, from construction to technology to banking and many more. The narrative is changing. More women are being considered. There are also more female VCs and women are also coming up with creative ways to raise funding for their ventures.
