What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, encourages strategic financial initiatives, and values innovative problem-solving.

As a Principal Financial Analyst with over 5 years of experience, I specialize in financial strategy and analysis within the agriculture sector. My career is marked by significant achievements, including initiating a cocoa bean export operation that generated over $5 million in foreign exchange revenue. I have a proven track record in profitability analysis, financial reporting, and IFRS compliance, which has allowed me to drive substantial cost savings and operational expansion for agribusinesses.

My role at Vicagoni Nigeria Ltd has been pivotal in enhancing profitability and liquidity through meticulous financial modeling and analysis. I successfully negotiated a subsidized loan of 1 billion Naira at a remarkably low interest rate, which has been instrumental in reducing overall finance costs and facilitating growth. I am passionate about devising innovative currency risk mitigation strategies that have significantly minimized financial exposure to exchange rate fluctuations, ensuring stability in a volatile market.
