We had the good fortune of connecting with Uche Omesiete and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Uche, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Trust

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a clinical research associate and when I first started, I had no idea what I was doing. I would work during the day and research the requirements and expectations at night. One of my strong points is curiosity and it was very beneficial in my learning stage. I also had this overwhelming drive to succeed, and so, I did the work to accelerate my career and improve myself. Brick by brick, day by day, and with dedication, I am now at a point where I can train people and give them the tools to succeed without making the mistakes I made. One of the major lessons I learnt is that short cuts ALWAYS extend your journey. They are no true short cuts. Just do the work.

I launched a training platform and the feedback I have received from my trainees are just gratifying. I also have a YouTube channel where I discuss entering and navigating the complex world of clinical research. There are a number of services in the pipeline, but when you are dealing with intellectual property, it is only right that you protect your ideas and concepts, so once the copyrights and trademarks are in order, the services will be rolled out.

Clinical research has seen a tremendous growth, we just need the our technology to catch up. We have created several softwares that are worth utilizing and advancing the research work we do, both in the United States and back home in Africa, this is why I would like people to become familiar with clinical research.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We would have to hangout in my kitchen because I love cooking, hosting, and baking.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Apart from God, who I credit for the wisdom, skill, and vision. My immediate family deserves the credit, especially my sister, Nkem Omesiete. She saw the vision I did not see. Lola and Nnena, my sissies,  (what I like to call them ) also were the loudest voices in my head. Lola lit the fire and Nnena definitely fanned the flame.
