Clementine Wallop
“Working on Nigeria is constantly surprising, challenging and illuminating. It is a uniquely complex business environment, where operators work in partnership with or come up against some of the world’s most remarkable officials. I enjoy interpreting what an apparently small signal – a trip to a different part of the country, a choice of attire, an extended period of vacation – might mean in the bigger picture for our clients. Nigeria is also a country of growing global importance, and somewhere our clients increasingly need thoughtful intelligence on making strategic decisions.”
