What I'm looking for

I seek a results-driven role in sales or partnerships where I can build strategic alliances, drive revenue growth, mentor teams, and work in an innovative, collaborative environment with clear metrics for impact.

I am a business development leader with over 12 years' experience across information technology, health management, and financial services, known for delivering revenue growth and securing strategic partnerships. I lead high-level client engagements, negotiate contracts from LOI to signed agreements, and craft partnership models that create mutual value.

My background includes closing high-value core-banking deals, driving hardware and software sales that exceeded targets, and increasing product adoption and lead generation through targeted GTM planning and consultative selling. I have led sales cycles end-to-end, delivered multi-million-naira and dollar deals, and implemented processes that boosted acquisition and lead metrics significantly.

I bring strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-management skills, with a pragmatic, results-oriented approach and a commitment to mentoring teams and staying current on industry and regulatory developments. I am motivated by building scalable partnerships and driving measurable business outcomes.
