Ayomide Yemi is a researcher and development practitioner working at the intersection of women’s economic empowerment, financial inclusion, and behavioral finance in low-income contexts. She is the Founder of Renbi Women Empowerment Initiative, a Nigeria-based organization focused on strengthening the sustainability of economic empowerment outcomes for last-mile women through community-based financial literacy and behavior change models.
Her work is grounded in extensive field experience with women in informal economies, where she has designed and implemented financial literacy and savings-focused interventions tailored to low-literacy and underserved communities. Through this work, she has developed the HER-Inclusion Model™, a behavioral readiness framework that examines the gap between access to financial services and sustained financial participation among low-income women.
She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Law and a Master’s degree in Management with a specialization in Finance and Investment from IE Business School.
