IDS Consulting Ghana Limited
A firm providing comprehensive advisory solutions specialized and tailored to assist high net worth SMEs
In a world where women remain underrepresented in fields like finance and technology, Diana Wilson has set out to change that narrative. As the visionary Founder and CEO of Yielding Accomplished African Women (YaaW), Diana has dedicated herself to empowering young African women to excel in STEM fields—an endeavour that’s rapidly transforming lives and communities across the continent.
A Visionary Leader with a Mission
Diana’s journey began with a deep understanding of the challenges African women face in accessing opportunities in finance and technology. With a passion to bridge this gap, she founded YaaW—a non-profit organization focused on equipping young African women with the skills, knowledge, and networks they need to succeed in STEM.
Under Diana’s leadership, YaaW has already trained over 710 women in just 2.5 years, providing them with mentorship, access to career opportunities, and the technical expertise to thrive in industries traditionally dominated by men. This number continues to grow, with the organization rapidly expanding its reach across multiple African countries.
Recognition of Her Impact
Diana’s commitment to fostering talent and bridging gender gaps has not gone unnoticed. In 2021, she was honoured as the Female Innovator of the Year at the Africa Tech Festival Awards—a recognition of her innovative approach to empowering women and driving change in Africa’s tech landscape.
The impact of her work goes beyond recognition. YaaW’s programs are shaping the future of African women, inspiring confidence, fostering leadership, and ensuring that the next generation of African female entrepreneurs and professionals have the tools to succeed.
