What I'm looking for

I seek product or delivery roles at mission-driven companies where I can lead cross-functional teams, scale fintech or digital products, improve delivery velocity, and drive measurable business outcomes.

I am a results-driven Product and Project Manager with over 5 years of experience delivering fintech and web-based digital solutions across fast-paced environments in Nigeria and the UK. I lead cross-functional teams, manage full product lifecycles, and apply Agile frameworks to align deliverables with business objectives.

I have a track record of improving team velocity by 35%, reducing time-to-market by 30%, and overseeing 100+ software releases and client projects. I specialize in backlog prioritization, sprint planning, third-party fintech integrations (e.g., Paystack, Lendsqr), and maintaining regulatory compliance for scalable, secure products.

I use tools like Jira, Azure DevOps, and Confluence to increase transparency and drive data-informed decisions, and I enjoy mentoring teams, reducing post-launch issues, and delivering on-time, within-budget outcomes.
