July 11, (THEWILL) – Not too long ago, Tokini, the first daughter of investment banker, Atedo Peterside, founder of Stanbic IBTC Bank, Anap Business Jets Limited and the Atedo N. A. Peterside Foundation, tied the nuptial knot with her Caucasian lover at the Balmoral Event Centre, Lagos. It was a very colourful and beautiful event with cultural dancers from Peterside’s native Rivers State adding flavour to the ceremony. And to further spice things up, super star David Adeleke aka Davido thrilled the guests from his repertoire of songs.
Expectedly, the guests list was made up of mostly people from the corporate world where the bride’s father operates. Tokini’s inlaws equally swarmed the event venue in their numbers to celebrate with their son. A very cerebral being, Tokini is the founder of Arts x Lagos, the first international art fair in West Africa. A graduate of INSEAD and London School of Economics, Tokini choose a career in marketing, and subsequently became Head of Marketing at Moët Hennessy, part of the LVMH group, in Nigeria.
She founded TP-Collective in 2012, providing strategy, business planning and marketing consulting to luxury and culture businesses in Nigeria. A recipient of several awards, her most recent recognition was being included in Apollo magazine’s 40 Under 40 list. Her husband, Gregoire Victor Schwebig, a French national is the founder of Africa Works, a pan-African flexible workspace provider chain, operating in nine cities across eight countries and counting. He also runs Haussmann Africa, a corporate real estate company.
