What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my proposal, tender, commercial, procurement, and stakeholder-management experience to winning contracts and supporting sustainable business growth.

At TPAUL Integrated Services, I manage end-to-end proposal and tender submissions, track RFQs and RFPs, and build performance dashboards that improve bid visibility. I achieved an 85% completion rate, submitting 44 of 52 RFQs.

Previously at GIL Automations, I secured procurement and service contracts worth over €2.5 million, ₦58 million, and $1.05 million through proposal coordination, negotiation, and direct client engagement. I also exceeded sales targets in 2024 and 2025, including securing more than 44 purchase orders in one month.

My background spans commercial operations, procurement, supply chain, logistics, and office operations. I use Microsoft Dynamics 365, Odoo, Zoho Books, SAP Ariba, NIPEX, PIMS Hosting, and Smart GEP to support compliant, efficient business delivery.
