What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to lead business growth, commercial lending, client acquisition, and strategic partnerships, with scope to manage high-value portfolios, develop teams, and build sustainable revenue.

I founded and lead Goldenstarr Biz Enterprises, a profitable lending and financial services business serving SMEs, traders, and retail customers. I use customer transaction and cashflow data to guide lending decisions, structure repayment plans, grow repeat business, and improve profitability.

Previously at First Bank of Nigeria, I managed an SME and affluent banking portfolio exceeding ₦500 million, originated commercial lending deals, and consistently exceeded business development and revenue targets. My background spans credit operations, client acquisition, portfolio management, customer service, and leading operational teams to improve turnaround time.
