Message

At NCDF Investment Management & Securities, I lead investor-facing communication and relationship management, support capital mobilisation, and coordinate investor onboarding and due-diligence processes.

At Paysnug Technology Limited, where I serve as Chief Operating Officer & Co-Founder, I work across operations, product strategy and partnerships. I helped evolve Paysnug into a digital financial-services ecosystem spanning payments, business banking and campus commerce.

At Edutap Solution Ltd, I provide operational leadership for an education-technology and school-payment business, supporting product operations, institutional partnerships and implementation. I also serve as Chief Operating Officer of ImpactKnowledge Education Technology Limited, supporting learning and youth-development programmes.

I founded Lifeport Development Initiative to advance youth education, leadership and economic security. My work also includes an innovative system co-developed during my studies that was adopted by my alma mater and contributed to employment opportunities for the development team.
