Ethnos has announced strategic leadership appointments as part of a broader effort to address key business challenges and position the company for sustained growth in 2026.
As organizations across the consulting and professional services sector contend with evolving client expectations, revenue pressure, and the need for tighter internal alignment, Ethnos says it has used the start of the year to reassess its structure and leadership capacity. The outcome is a deliberate expansion of its senior team, focused on two core issues: revenue growth and organizational coordination.
Addressing Revenue Growth and Client Value
One of the central challenges identified by Ethnos is the need to strengthen revenue generation at the top of the funnel while deepening long-term client relationships. To address this, the company has appointed Dr. Bolanle Fajemirokun to lead revenue growth efforts.
In her role, Dr. Fajemirokun will focus on expanding market opportunities, strengthening early-stage client engagement, and working closely with Key Account Managers to increase client value over time. The appointment reflects Ethnos’ recognition that sustainable growth requires closer integration between business development and account management, rather than treating them as separate functions.
Improving Internal Alignment and Execution
Another issue highlighted by the company is the growing complexity of internal operations as the business scales. Ethnos noted that maintaining alignment between leadership, management, and delivery teams has become increasingly critical to meeting business objectives.
To respond to this challenge, Sylvia Okenwani has been appointed Chief of Staff. In this role, she will be responsible for driving coordination across leadership and team leads, improving clarity around priorities, and ensuring consistent execution of the company’s core goals. The role is expected to strengthen decision-making, accountability, and cross-team collaboration.
Positioning for Purposeful Growth
According to Ethnos, the appointments form part of a wider reset designed to sharpen focus and reinforce leadership capacity in 2026. By addressing both external growth pressures and internal alignment issues, the company aims to build a more resilient operating model and deliver greater value to its clients.
The leadership changes signal Ethnos’ intention to approach 2026 with clearer priorities, stronger governance, and a renewed commitment to purposeful growth.
