Welcome to the world of Ruth Agbaji, the CEO and Nerd-In-Chief of Code Wiz and the founder of NextGen Visionary. My entrepreneurial journey, marked by innovation and resilience, is fueled by a passion for making a difference in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors.
My Story: Continued Passion and Perseverance
My journey is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance. From my early days in Nigeria, being self-taught, I discovered the magic of coding, to my advanced studies and corporate experiences in the United States, each step has been a building block towards my larger vision. My transition from a software engineer to an entrepreneur was driven by a desire for flexibility and impact, a leap of faith that led to the creation of Code Wiz and later, NextGen Visionary. These ventures are more than businesses; they are platforms where I can share my learnings, inspire innovation, and empower the next generation of thinkers and leaders. My story is one of continuous evolution, a journey that's as much about personal growth as it is about professional success. It's a narrative that I hope inspires others to chase their dreams, no matter how ambitious.
Code Wiz: The Beginning of a Dream
In 2017, my dream of empowering the next generation in STEM led to the founding of Code Wiz, an enriching center where kids learn coding and robotics. My vision was to create a place where technology and creativity meet, inspiring kids of all abilities. The success of Code Wiz is evident in its rapid growth, with 30 locations in various development stages across the U.S. My approach, combining an interactive and project-driven methodology, has established Code Wiz as a leader in enrichment education.
NextGen Visionary: Empowering Visionaries in All Sectors
In my journey of expanding horizons, I established NextGen Visionary, a versatile consulting firm dedicated to transforming concepts into impactful realities in both non-profit and for-profit realms. Catering to entities in the early stages, particularly those within the $0 - $500K revenue range or 1 - 10 employees, NextGen Visionary draws upon my extensive experience in nurturing ideas into thriving, sustainable ventures. The firm is uniquely positioned to guide both emerging entrepreneurs and non-profit visionaries, helping them build organizations that are not only strong and innovative but also deeply aligned with their core missions. This venture is a natural extension of my commitment to foster growth and mentorship across diverse sectors, aiming to inspire and make a meaningful difference in a multitude of lives.
A Mission to Make a Difference
My journey is not just about business success; it's about making a meaningful impact. Whether through Code Wiz, inspiring children in STEM, or through NextGen Visionary, guiding ambitious entrepreneurs, my mission remains constant: to transform lives and help others realize their potential.
Join me in this journey of innovation, education, and empowerment. Let's make a difference together.
