What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead complex manufacturing and industrial operations where I can commission facilities, strengthen governance, develop teams, deliver CAPEX projects, and improve productivity, quality, sustainability, and profitability.

I'm leading end-to-end operations for Levene Energy Holdings' indigenous solar PV manufacturing facility, taking it from commissioning and production ramp-up to commercial readiness. I build production planning, ERP workflows, BOMs, inventory controls, SOPs, quality procedures, and cross-functional operating systems aligned with IEC standards.

Previously, I directed manufacturing at Hello Products Nigeria, where I delivered its first ₦1 billion monthly manufacturing revenue and managed production, engineering, procurement, QA, and supply chain teams. I have also led high-volume food manufacturing engineering at UAC Foods and strategic CAPEX, process modernization, environmental compliance, and ISO management initiatives at Champion Breweries.

At Nigerian Bottling Company, I managed bottling lines, utility equipment, asset management, and maintenance systems while delivering ₦140 million in energy savings through energy and water-minimization initiatives. My work spans plant commissioning, operational excellence, TPM, Lean Manufacturing, reliability, HSE, risk management, manufacturing governance, and cost optimization.

I've built practical systems that strengthen asset integrity, improve OEE, reduce downtime, develop technical teams, and support sustainable manufacturing growth across renewable energy, FMCG, beverage, and industrial operations.
