Oluwasola Obagbemi Joins Global Communications Leaders As International Jury Member For Davos Communications Awards 2027
The Nigerian communications leader Oluwasola Obagbemi has joined the international jury for the Davos Communications Awards 2027, organised by the World Communications Forum Association (WCFA).
Obagbemi, who serves as Head of Communications for Sub-Saharan Africa at a global technology company, joins nine other communications leaders from across the world on the 2027 jury, bringing together expertise from leading global organisations, agencies and institutions. A jury chaired by AnnaMaria DeSalva, Principal of Invenīre 2050 and former Global Chairman of Burson and Hill & Knowlton.
The jury represents eight countries and brings together expertise from global organisations, communications agencies and institutions. Its members are Christina Garcia, Diana Scholz, Illka Gobius, Jürgen Gangoly, Kirsten Walkom, Patricia Routledge, Robin Miller, Vladimír Bystrov, DeSalva and Obagbemi. The WCFA’s official jury listing includes leaders from organisations such as Google, Bayer, BBC News and IKEA Australia and New Zealand.
The awards recognise excellence, creativity and impact across the communications landscape. The winners will be celebrated at the Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony on April 8, 2027, in Davos, Switzerland.
In her LinkedIn announcement, Obagbemi said: “I genuinely enjoy being part of these conversations and contributing to the platforms that celebrate excellence, challenge thinking and shape the future of our industry. More importantly, I never take the opportunity to learn, contribute and represent the African communications community on global platforms for granted.”
Obagbemi was also featured in the October 2026 digital edition of The NextCom, WCFA’s official magazine, where she shared her perspectives with the international communications community. This will be her third time serving on an international communications awards jury, following her experience with the SABRE Awards and The One Show Awards in New York earlier this year.
