What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can drive cross-functional operational transformation, use data and AI-enabled decision support, and scale multi-country execution—linking technology and business to deliver measurable impact and growth.

I’m a strategic operations leader with 10+ years of experience driving cross-functional coordination, operational transformation, and multi-country execution across complex environments. I focus on aligning distributed teams around shared goals and designing scalable processes that improve organizational effectiveness.

Across my roles, I strengthen governance, integrate systems and reporting structures, and use data-driven insights—including AI-enabled tools—to support decision-making and performance improvement. I’m especially enthusiastic about the intersection of technology and business and how they combine to create transformational social change.

In my current role as Director of Operations & Strategy at Africa UpEnergy Group, I lead strategy and execution across 8 African markets, leveraging AI-enabled analytics for performance tracking, forecasting, and strategic decisions. Previously, I set up and led the Ghana operation with full P&L leadership and built structured reporting to improve transparency, and I delivered measurable outcomes through strategy execution, cost reductions, digital transformation, and credit/risk improvements including 12% bad debt reduction within a quarter.
