Ikenna Azuike
Moderator
Ikenna Azuike started his career as a lawyer but is now a sought-after journalist, presenter, speaker, and filmmaker. He was born in Lagos, Nigeria, grew up in the UK, studied law in the UK and France, and has lived in The Netherlands with his family since 2004.
After working as a lawyer with Shearman & Sterling in London, Singapore, and New York, as well as with Clifford Chance LLP in Amsterdam, he decided to change course and follow his passions for broadcasting and social activism. Together with his wife, Mette te Velde, he co-founded the Strawberry Earth Foundation to fast forward our transition towards a sustainable planet. He created the satirical news show What’s Up Africa. His show was subsequently commissioned by the BBC, aired on BBC World News television for 6 seasons, was shortlisted for an Association of International Broadcasters Award, and amassed over half a million followers on social media.
Since 2017, Ikenna has worked on a variety of longer-form journalistic projects through his own production company, Jollof Rice Productions B.V. For example, he made the six-part travel series ‘Planeet Nigeria’ (Planet Nigeria) for BNNVARA, the documentary ‘De Post-Racistische Planeet’ (The Post-Racist Planet) for VPRO Tegenlicht, and he is currently developing a comedy drama with Kaap Holland. In addition to his work as a journalist, Ikenna is also the chairman of The Correspondent Foundation, a foundation launched by the Dutch journalism platform De Correspondent.
