Nike is a Technical Director at leading Engineering and Consultancy firm WSP, but is more widely known as the co-founder of AFBE-UK (Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers).
AFBE-UK was founded by Nike and her brother Dr Ollie Folayan in 2007 and through it there has been tremendous growth in the inclusion of Black and Minority Ethnic people in Engineering.
Nike is one of the leading voices and advocates for more representation of BME engineers in industry and works relentlessly through AFBE-UK to support under-represented individuals. AFBE-UK has actively supported over 20,000 individuals seeking work in engineering and engineering related subjects whilst also engaging a mix of communities across the UK ranging from companies to engineering institutions and schools, to develop and showcase the engineering talent available within the BME community thereby contributing to the wider engineering talent pool.
Nike has been awarded an MBE for her contribution to Diversity in Engineering.
