City People Magazine proudly announces Chioma Susan Nwaimo as the 2022 Women in Tech & Innovation Award recipient, recognizing her as one of the most influential female voices advancing the future of data science, digital innovation, and enterprise risk strategy. Selected from a highly competitive field of over 100,000 nominees, Chioma stands out for her technical brilliance and unwavering commitment to equity, innovation, and impact.
Chioma earns this prestigious recognition due to her outstanding achievements in the field and her continuous impact through research. One of her research papers, “Advanced Data Analytics and Business Intelligence: Building Resilience in Risk Management,” delivers a bold, actionable framework for organizations navigating digital disruption and cybersecurity threats. The paper—praised for its clarity, foresight, and practical relevance—positions her as a thought leader in the integration of AI, business intelligence, and predictive analytics in modern enterprise.
City People commends Chioma for breaking new ground at the intersection of technology and strategy. Her work advances the application of explainable artificial intelligence, automated threat detection, and data democratization, offering clear, scalable solutions to both private and public institutions striving for resilience in uncertain times.
At the time of the paper’s release, Chioma had already carved out a reputation for academic excellence, graduating with distinction from Western Illinois University with a Master of Science in Applied Statistics and Decision Analytics. Her perfect 4.0 GPA, combined with awards like the Graduate Assistantship Scholarship and Talent Award, reflect her drive for excellence and intellectual rigor. Before that, she earned a Bachelor of Technology in Estate Management from the Federal University of Technology, Akure—proof of her ability to pivot across disciplines with analytical precision.
Her professional journey spans critical roles across the U.S. and Nigeria, including time as a Business Intelligence Analyst, Data Engineer, and Operations Analyst, where she applied her skills in Alteryx, Power BI, AWS, Tableau, and Python to support strategic decision-making in finance, healthcare, and technology sectors.
What truly distinguishes Chioma, as stated by Wale Lawal from Citypeople, is her commitment to making technology inclusive and transformative. Her vision of using data to foster sustainability, fairness, and innovation exemplifies the values this award seeks to celebrate. She does not simply work with data—she humanizes it, showing how insights can be used to solve real-world challenges, especially in underserved and underrepresented communities.
In an industry where women remain underrepresented, Chioma’s leadership and voice are not only inspiring—they are essential. Her recognition as the 2022 Women in Tech & Innovation Award recipient is both a celebration of her achievements and a call to action for the next generation of women in STEM.
Chioma Susan Nwaimo is not just participating in tech—she’s shaping its future.
