Interswitch Reinforces Commitment to Diversity and Impact at WIMCA 2026
Interswitch, one of Africa’s premier integrated payments and digital commerce companies, has reaffirmed its dedication to fostering inclusion, empowering talent, and celebrating impactful leadership through its sponsorship and active participation at the 2026 Women in Marketing & Communications Conference and Awards (WIMCA).
Held on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at the Landmark Event Centre in Lagos, the 12th edition of WIMCA gathered top professionals, industry leaders, brands, and organizations from across the marketing, communications, and broader business sectors. Under the theme “Grow, Give, Glow: Building Resilience for Distinction,” the event showcased discussions on resilience, mentorship, learning, and authentic leadership, alongside an exhibition, gala dinner, and awards ceremony.
Interswitch’s sponsorship underscores its commitment to supporting platforms that facilitate knowledge exchange, recognize excellence, and amplify the voices of professionals shaping industries and communities through their expertise and leadership.
The company’s impactful presence was further highlighted by two notable awards. Interswitch was named the **Most Outstanding Fintech Company in Gender Inclusion**, and Dr. Cherry Eromosele, Executive Vice President of Marketing & Communications, was recognized among the **Top 50 Most Influential Women in Marketing & Communications**.
These accolades reflect Interswitch’s ongoing focus on creating an environment where diverse talent can flourish and where individuals are empowered to contribute meaningfully to the organization’s growth and societal impact.
Commenting on the awards, Dr. Eromosele stated, “The sponsorship of WIMCA reflects Interswitch’s belief in the importance of platforms that celebrate excellence, encourage learning, and create visibility for the people making a difference across its industry.” She added:
“These recognitions are particularly meaningful because they speak to two areas that are central to how we operate at Interswitch – people and impact. Inclusion is not simply about creating opportunities for different voices to be present; it is about creating an environment where people can contribute, grow and lead. Similarly, marketing and communications have evolved beyond telling stories about organisations to shape conversations, building trust and creating meaningful connections with the people and communities we serve.”
Adding vibrancy to the event was Verve, Interswitch’s consumer payments brand, which maintained a strong presence, offering attendees the chance to interact with the brand and experience its offerings firsthand. Verve’s participation underscores its focus on forging deeper consumer connections and creating engaging experiences that go beyond facilitating payments.
Through initiatives like this, Interswitch continues to influence Africa’s future by championing inclusion, nurturing talent, celebrating excellence, and providing platforms for impactful engagement across the continent.
