Project manager and IT support professional who delivers on-time projects through stakeholder alignment, risk management, and agile execution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Nigeria-based project professional who blends project planning, execution, and stakeholder management with strong technical support fundamentals. In my current Project Manager role, I oversee delivery within scope, time, and budget, building project plans, schedules, and work breakdown structures while escalating issues when needed.
Previously, I supported projects with a focus on timelines, documentation, and proactive risk identification—helping improve on-time delivery and clarity across teams. I also bring hands-on IT support experience, including deploying and providing post-implementation support for IBM Control Desk, and earlier customer experience work managing social media and online marketing campaigns.
