CEO of YellowWood Group Accepts 2013 Women In Business Award From Triangle Business Journal

RALEIGH, N.C. - Aug. 22, 2013 - PRLog -- Sponsored by the Triangle Business Journal (TBJ), the Women in Business awards program recognizes Triangle women who have proven to be dynamic and outstanding leaders with established track records of significant accomplishments in business and/or community service. The judges poured through nearly 160 entries to come up with this year’s list of winners and Olalah Njenga, CEO of YellowWood Group (www.yellowwoodgroup.com) was on the elusive list.  Njenga, who owns a strategic marketing firm with offices in Raleigh and Charlotte, says receiving merit-based awards like the Women In Business award is a tremendous accomplishment and is very humbling.

Bryan Hamilton, publisher of the TBJ comments on the publication’s longstanding annual award, “These winners represent a consummate balance of business success and community building. They are leaders who not only have an impressive list of achievements, but are also looked to as role models and mentors for women hoping to follow in their footsteps.”

Njenga and all of this year’s winners were recognized at an awards luncheon on August 20^th at the Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center in Durham, NC.

Njenga remarks about her win, “When I started YellowWood Group 10 years ago, I had no clue, no plan and no team. Today, the company looks very different. A woman in business is not an island, she is undoubtedly surrounded by talented people who translate her vision into actionable concepts. That’s true for me on a daily basis. My team earned this award. I just get to keep it on my desk.”

A profile of the winners will appear in a special section of the TBJ that will be published in the August 23rd print edition.
