I build compliant, high-performing people systems for fintech, financial services, and education teams.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to partner with senior leaders to build scalable, compliant people strategies, strengthen workplace culture, develop talent, and improve performance across hybrid or technology-led organisations.

I've led people strategy and operations at Teesas Education, PayFinancial Technology Service, Crowdyvest, and Ojireh Prime Financial Services, partnering with senior leaders to translate business goals into practical HR systems.

At Payfi, I built and led a project team that increased project completion rates by 60% and reduced project and organisational risk by 40%. At Teesas Education, I launched scalable HR lifecycle processes that reduced financial discrepancies by 25%, kept operations 10% under budget, and improved engagement and productivity.

I bring an evidence-based people approach grounded in psychology, HR management, HR analytics, Nigerian Labour Law compliance, talent acquisition, performance management, and hybrid-work design.
