Despite the issues she has had to put up with in her marriage with veteran comedian, Atunyota Allelua Akpobome, otherwise known as Alibaba, it hasn’t stopped Mary Akpobome from forging ahead in her career.
The cerebral banker has now found a new home with Imperium Capital Partners, formerly known as HBCL Investment Services Plc, an investment house that is on a rescue mission for drowning financial institutions through acquisition.
She is the Chief Operating Officer of the firm which was founded in 2013.
The choice of Mary as the COO of the firm is without a doubt, akin to putting a round peg in a round hole, having proved her mettle in the financial sector for over 30 years having traversed Citizens International Bank, Platinum/Habib Bank and later, Heritage Bank where she was the Executive Director, Business Banking overseeing all corporate, commercial, special projects, intervention schemes, multilateral, agriculture and export businesses.
She would later become the acting managing director of Enterprise Bank after it was acquired by Heritage Bank. An alumnus of Lagos Business School, London Business School and INSEAD, Mary’s experience in the management of people and resources will no doubt find positive expression in her new role.
