What I'm looking for

I want to lead energy/infrastructure finance and portfolio work—driving capital mobilisation, executive reporting, and stakeholder engagement that strengthens outcomes and institutional delivery.

I’m a finance and infrastructure professional with experience spanning investment banking, financial management, capital raising, and strategic advisory—especially across the energy and infrastructure sectors. I’m known for engaging investors, senior executives, and stakeholders in complex operating environments, turning analysis into clear executive decisions.

As a Portfolio Manager at Tetra Tech International Development (UK Nigeria Infrastructure Advisory Facility), I led implementation and oversight of UK FCDO-funded initiatives to expand energy access, strengthen institutional capacity, support policy and regulatory reforms, and unlock private investment in Nigeria’s power sector. I coordinated strategic planning and executive reporting, managed programme reporting and performance tracking, and developed strategic reports and presentation materials for senior decision-making. I also oversaw implementation monitoring, quality assurance, and stakeholder coordination across initiatives including an investment framework to mobilize private capital into transmission infrastructure and an AI-enabled smart metering pilot for revenue assurance in electricity distribution.

Previously, I served as a Special Adviser (Technical) to the Lagos State Commissioner for Energy through Deloitte Consulting and USAID Power Africa, supporting long-term strategic frameworks such as Integrated Resource Planning and the State-wide Gas Policy, and facilitating engagement with development partners including the World Bank and USAID WASH. Earlier roles included Business Development Manager at Axxela Limited (commercial evaluation across gas and power in sub-Saharan Africa, including a 15mmbtu/d Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement) and Senior Associate in Investment Banking & Strategic Advisory at Vetiva, where I supported valuation, due diligence, transaction structuring, and capital raising mandates with cumulative deal exposure exceeding US$20 billion.
