Ade Onilude
Ade joined The Institute after studying the Advanced Certificate and Post-Graduate Diploma. She is a Sales Consultant in the consumer division of the luxury brand Swarovski, the global manufacturers and retailers of cut crystal. “I decided I wanted to meet more marketers,” explains Ade, “my sales consultant role was not meeting my need to connect with other marketers.” She joined the Central London branch in 2003 which led to her conceiving and project managing the first Women in Marketing Conference, held in 2004. Ade has since extended this to creating the first Women in Marketing Awards in 2010.  Ade is an alumna member of The University of the Arts, enhancing her interest in the creative sector.
