Veronica Modupe Yusuf has an MSc in Human Resources Management and over 10 years of Business Analysis experience, she has successfully added value to reputable organizations across various sectors and domains.

She pivoted into the Data Privacy domain over 4 years ago, leading the compliance function in a global organization, whilst driving a not-for-profit initiative supporting midlife career change.

Her area of expertise is IT Business Analysis, Data Privacy and Career Change coaching.

She is also the Director and CEO of Sterling Careers Limited, and Founder of Be Inspired To Grow.

 

Her Companies – Sterling Careers & Be Inspired To Grow
Since overcoming the struggles of post-maternity career stagnation in her 30s, she is now on a mission to help people, especially women of colour who may have had career gaps due to family commitments, to regain self-confidence and develop valuable skills to enable them to get back into work.

Through her company Sterling Careers Limited, she offers online training in Business Analysis, Project Management, Data Privacy and Career coaching.

Through her not for profit community interest company, Be Inspired to Grow, she supports midlife career change seekers, to develop confidence, skills and competencies to compete in the fast-paced business world. They organise virtual networking events and talk shows to educate and communicate with our members and audience, covering topics on career development both in the corporate world and in business.

 

How She Made A Successful Career Change
We asked Veronica why and how she successfully changed her careers, here is what she said:

Over 16 years ago, on arriving in the UK as an international student from Africa, for a Masters in Human Resource Management (HRM).

I was super confident that a postgraduate degree was the ticket I needed to change my life forever, little did I know that it wasn’t going to be that simple.

How could I have guessed that I would fall pregnant soon after my postgraduate degree and end up taking a career break to start a family or spend years after maternity trying to break into the HR field,  simply because I lacked UK experience at the time?

I tried sending out 100s of job applications weekly, and was met with constant rejections and the popular…  “sorry you have not been successful this time”

I had to settle for temporary agency jobs, which would come few and far between and was earning £7.50/hr in spite of the stressful and sometimes unpleasant conditions involved.

I ended up unhappy, underpaid and unfulfilled doing the temp jobs I had to do. But, I had to do something to make ends meet.

Fast forward a few years, where I finally had a breakthrough.  I was able to successfully make a career change into the IT space. Moved to a career that I was happy and fulfilled in, looked forward to waking up to go to work. I enjoyed flexibility at work and was able to spend quality time with my family and go on nice family holidays.

Imagine such a big leap, moving from earning £52.50 to £450 per day, (about £90K per year).

Now I am a high achiever, in a management position within a global organization, and running a coaching & training business.

 

How She Can Help You Too
Veronica is on a mission to help women, some may have been through similar challenges as she did.

She is keen to support and challenge them to see the possibilities of achieving a dream career that is flexible, financially rewarding and in alignment with their WHY.

Also to show them that it is indeed possible to make a career change into IT, without a tech background.

She uses her tried and tested C.S.EP Framework, which was developed from the lessons she learned on her journey to change.

She has seen clients move from complete tech novices to becoming successful IT professionals, within a matter of months.

Some client testimonials are available on her websites and social media pages.
