What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead customer success, customer value, technology, or business transformation initiatives that turn customer needs into measurable adoption, growth, and executive outcomes.

I've translated technology investments into measurable business value across banking, utilities, oil and gas, retail, and technology environments. At SAP Africa, I contributed to 72% revenue growth across West Africa, grew annuity business by 25% year over year, and led strategic solution engagements that connected customer needs to compelling propositions.

As Business Director at CWG Plc, I led a 200+ person sales, presales, solution delivery, and support organization into the company’s highest-revenue and most profitable business unit. I used customer and market insight to improve margins by 30%, sustained a 30% profitability target for seven consecutive quarters, and reduced software-engineering attrition by 30%.

I'm currently leading product design, software engineering, and system support at The Elevation Church, where I drive process automation, digitized finance requisitions to eliminate associated paperwork, and align ERP vendors and internal stakeholders around adoption.
