ADEBAYO Emmanuel
@adebayoemmanuel1
UX researcher and business analyst shaping Nigerian products through end-to-end research.
What I'm looking for
I’m a user-centric researcher driven to impactfully shape products for the Nigerian market and beyond. I lead end-to-end mixed-method research, blending qualitative intuition with data fluency, and I proactively identify opportunities to improve customer outcomes—not just react to requests. I translate complex data into actionable insights and advocate for users throughout the product development lifecycle.
Across roles as Senior Researcher, Business Analyst & Copywriter, and Lead Market/Quality Assessment researcher, I collaborate with product managers, designers, engineers, and data scientists to turn research into strategic product decisions. I’ve planned and executed research activities, selected the right methods (in-depth interviews, surveys, usability tests, ethnographic studies, concept testing, diary studies), and synthesized findings into reports and presentations. I also apply decision frameworks like SWOT, VRIO, Value Chain analysis, Strategic Group analysis, Industry Life Cycle analysis, PESTLE, and Porter Five Forces analyses, while managing high-quality standards across time, budget, and multiple projects.
