Background

About Ashley Best

I believe that when a community is resourced right, it changes everything. With certifications in User Experience, Customer Management, SEO Marketing, Brand Strategy, and Communications Strategy, I show up ready to build bridges between people, ideas, and impact (usually in my favorite boots). My career is a tapestry of purpose-driven programs and partnerships that unearth potential- PHER at The CANs Park: Piloted a grant cohort equipping small businesses with digital tools and financial management platforms- Village Showcase: Guided early-stage startups to refine their MVPs and become market-ready- DSE Curriculum Workshop (with GIZ-DTC Nigeria): Co-designed digital skills training to empower grassroots entrepreneurs- UN Global Digital Compact Review: Advocated for inclusive digital policies at the UN House in Abuja. Along the way, I’ve driven a 25% increase in brand recognition, forged alliances that boosted partnerships by 15%, and implemented communication systems that fueled a 15% revenue growth. But numbers are just one measure—what energizes me most is the lasting connections and opportunities I create for others. I stand for- Empowerment through Belief: Uncovering the gold in overlooked people and ideas- Community as Catalyst: Designing ecosystems where collaboration sparks innovation- Sustainable Impact: Building structures that breathe long after the pilot ends- Justice by Design: Embedding inclusion into every strategy and system- Creative Integrity: Blending artistry and analytics to craft purposeful experiences. From volunteering with AIESEC and Rugged Steps Foundation to leading the i-include social enterprise, I’m committed to equity, disability inclusion, and sustainable development.
