Grace in Vision. Strength in Service.
Meet Otega Owumi Oralusi, a woman of profound grace, strategic insight, and deep compassion. As the Founder and Group Managing Director of LifeCome Group, UK, Otega stands at the intersection of healthcare innovation, social enterprise, and family legacy.
She is not just the wife of Hareter Babatunde Oralusi, she is a visionary in her own right, shaping lives and systems with quiet strength and resolute conviction.
Born into a family of visionaries and givers, Otega Owumi cultivated a lifelong passion for community advancement, health equity, and social and financial inclusion. Educated in Nigeria and the United Kingdom, she developed the cross-cultural insight and global perspective that now drive her mission, to design healthcare models that are not only highly effective, but also inclusive and equitable.
Driven by an unshakable passion for learning, Otega has built a remarkable career at the intersection of multiple disciplines, backed by advanced qualifications and executive training from leading institutions in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Her global journey reflects a rare blend of academic excellence, cross-cultural fluency, and strategic leadership; qualities that have become the hallmark of her professional brand. Committed to continuous growth, Otega thrives on translating knowledge into impact, shaping innovative solutions, and inspiring those around her to reach their highest potential.
Global Achievements & Credentials
Otega began her professional journey in the dynamic world of banking and finance, where she rapidly established herself as a results-driven leader with a global outlook. Rising through the ranks at remarkable speed, she secured management positions in some of the world’s most respected financial institutions, including United Bank for Africa and American Express. Her career in finance is marked by strategic leadership, cross-border expertise, and a proven ability to deliver growth and innovation in highly competitive international markets.
Driven by a passion for creating lasting impact, Otega made a bold transition from an accomplished career of over a decade in banking and finance to the healthcare sector. In 2009, she founded LifeCome Care with a mission to deliver healthcare that empowers individuals to live their fullest lives. Today, she leverages her distinctive blend of financial acumen and healthcare expertise to collaborate with government institutions in designing and implementing value-based healthcare models; systems that measure success through real, sustainable outcomes rather than cost savings alone. Deeply committed to addressing the social determinants of health, Otega champions innovative solutions that integrate economic strategy with human well-being.
