We exist to break one pattern

Naa works as a Global Finance Manager within a food and snacks company in the United States, where she brings strong expertise in corporate development and strategy. She is also pursuing an MBA at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, where she is a Forté Fellow, a scholarship awarded to women demonstrating exceptional promise in business leadership. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Actuarial Science and a Master’s degree in Development Finance.

Networking and relationship-building have been a defining thread in her career. Through strategic outreach and referrals, she secured a role that sponsored her relocation from Ghana to the United States, even when the position had not been publicly advertised. Earlier in her career, she landed her first professional role with a leading fintech in Ghana in a similar way, by directly reaching out to the company’s CEO.

As a co-founder of Elevate Career Hub, Naa has always been passionate about helping people navigate uncertainty in their careers. What started as a desire to share hard-won lessons has grown into a platform that has reached over 2,000 professionals across Africa and the diaspora. Through bootcamps and 1:1 coaching, she has helped clients land roles at top companies, secure funding, and earn admission into leading graduate programs around the world.

What sets her approach apart is that none of it is theoretical. Every framework she teaches, she has lived. She knows what it takes to break into competitive spaces with no blueprint, no insider access, and no one handing you the next step, and that’s what keeps people coming back.

Rosemary Great-Damzi is an ACCA-qualified Chartered Accountant and a dedicated internal audit and risk management professional with extensive experience across financial services, oil and gas, and the public sector. She holds a Master’s degree in Project Management from the University of Manchester, which she earned on a prestigious full-ride scholarship that covered her tuition, accommodation, flights, and visa costs in full, and came with a substantial monthly stipend. She currently works in internal audit at a leading fintech in London.

Through a highly targeted job search strategy, Rosemary tripled her salary within two years, often navigating recruitment processes with multiple offers to choose from. Beyond her corporate career, she is deeply committed to career development. As a co-founder of Elevate Career Hub, she is dedicated to giving job seekers the tools, confidence, and strategies they need to build fulfilling careers.

That same commitment extends to those pursuing further study. Having navigated the scholarship and admissions journey herself, Rosemary is just as passionate about helping others secure admission into leading universities and compete for the most prestigious scholarships available. She works closely with applicants to sharpen their personal statements, build compelling profiles, and approach the process with clarity and strategy rather than guesswork.

Her goal is simple: to demystify a journey that often feels out of reach, and to show ambitious candidates that world-class education and full funding are well within their grasp with the right preparation and positioning.
