Founder’s Story

Hi, I’m Nancy Njoku-Attah

I started out in the lab, pipetting and reading haematology slides with precision. But deep inside, I knew I wanted more.

#BenchToBusinessFellows was born out of that hunger — to create a space where diagnostic professionals could be more than background players. A space where we build visibility, move into sales, policy, quality, entrepreneurship, or leadership.

We’ve been behind the bench for too long.

Now, we’re pulling up a seat at the table.

“We’re not leaving the lab behind. We’re using it as our launchpad.”
— Nancy Njoku-Attah
Founder, Bloodwork Innovations & BenchToBusinessFellows

Why Work with us?

How We’re Different?

We are not a WhatsApp group with motivational quotes. We are not a club with monthly check-ins. We are not a coaching business with a paywall around everything.

We are a career movement.

Built by diagnostics professionals, for diagnostics professionals — especially those in Africa.
