SALTVIM is the acronym for, Society for the Advancement of Local Talents and Virtue in Management. It was established about eight years ago, to promote, first and foremost, Virtue in Management and secondly, Nigerian talents in their aspirations to reach the highest level of management in the very large companies especially the Globalized Corporate Organisations operating in Nigeria.
At its inception, a number of retired Nigerians who had been CEOs of many blue-chip companies in Nigeria, came together to create an awareness about the apparent inability of virtuous and talented Nigerians, to reach the position of CEO any more in the large multinational companies, unlike what happened in 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
