Business Developer turning ideas into scalable operations, growth, and measurable partnerships.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Business Developer driven by turning ideas into results. With a background spanning operations, business development, and leadership, I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments where I take ownership from concept to execution.
In my current role as Project Management | Country Head (AIESEC in Benin), I set the strategic direction and drive alignment across local committees. I strengthen operations through process optimization, market analysis, data tracking & reporting, and stakeholder engagement to secure partnerships and enhance brand presence.
Previously, as an Operations & Growth Associate (MeekFi), I used operational insights to shape campaign targeting and optimize landing pages—improving partner sign-up conversion by 35%. I also supported growth initiatives by identifying Sales and Marketing opportunities, managing CRM pipelines, nurturing 50+ mid-funnel prospects via email, and boosting qualified leads by 40% through tighter collaboration with marketing.
I’ve also led national exchange operations as National Director of Operations, AIESEC in Benin (Outgoing & Incoming), delivering 235% growth in total exchanges year-on-year and improving customer satisfaction scores by 40% through better delivery timelines and proactive issue resolution. I’m motivated by missions with tangible impact, and I work best with teams that value collaboration, diversity of thought, and a culture of excellence.
