What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead data-driven product work where I can build scalable systems, improve customer journeys, automate operations, and partner closely with engineering, data, operations, and external stakeholders.

I've launched and scaled products at Skydd, Fusion, Café One, and Sterling Bank, improving conversion, revenue, onboarding, and self-service experiences. At Skydd, I relaunched user and admin platforms to reach 15K monthly active users, improve conversion by 5%, and support new insurance capabilities that delivered a 5% uplift in revenue.

I combine product strategy, experimentation, analytics, and cross-functional delivery to turn customer and operational problems into scalable systems. My work includes launching Café One Passport for 4,500+ customers, growing monthly coffee revenue past ₦10m, streamlining wallet verification for 500+ pending users, and automating venture-capital due diligence processes to reduce inefficiencies by 20%.
