Ruth Adive-Baldwin has been involved in various multinational business projects since 1994. She started as the personal assistant to the director and worked her way up to becoming interim head of Ceragro-Engr. Ltd - then a major import/export corporation in Jos, Nigeria before traveling to the U.S. to attend university. While pursuing a degree in International Business in Pennsylvania, Ms. Adive-Baldwin worked for Zanzibar Blue- a premier jazz restaurant in Philadelphia- where she learned the intricacies of working with and coordinating events for world renowned musicians.
In 2000, Ms. Adive-Baldwin was accepted into the prestigious International Business Institute which not only gave her access to the upper echelons of such notable companies as Nokia, Ikea, Daimler-Chrysler, and Nestle to name a few, but also allowed her to travel extensively throughout Europe. After graduating with honors from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA with a double major in International Business and Marketing, Ruth relocated to southern California where she joined the executive team of Inamed Corporation. However, after Inamed merged with Allergan, Inc. in a $3.2 billion deal in 2006 , Ms. Adive-Baldwin decided to return to Philadelphia from where she joined the Africa-Related professional team. She speaks Hausa, French and Arabic.
