IN SHORT

Mitchell Elegbe is a modern-day innovator with an entrepreneurial edge. As Founder and Group Managing Director for Interswitch Limited, he has streamlined the financial transactions of Nigerians, but more importantly he has reached a position where he will continue to inspire with his message of humility and positivity. “I put a lot of effort into getting the results I want, which is what I call winning,” he says. “Don’t sit and criticize Nigeria when your energy could be better spent in a more productive way. Keep looking for those open doors if you really want to make a change.”
