What I'm looking for

I’m looking to partner with organizations to optimize resources for optimum return and profits—leading HR strategy, workforce planning, compensation & benefits, payroll, and HR analytics, while driving employee engagement, performance management, and cost control through practical execution.

I’m an HR Professional with over 8 years of experience across retail chain, Real Estate, manufacturing, construction, FMCG, and consulting. I’m known for a strong passion for excellence, project execution, business analytics, cost management, and human resources strategies.

In my most recent role as HR Manager at Colad Gray Consulting, I developed and implemented strategy for workforce planning and staff outsourcing, and I led end-to-end recruitment. I also drafted job descriptions and Smart KPI, formulated client organizational policies and strategies, and spearheaded quarterly staff headcount analysis and staff audit.

I’ve also driven measurable people outcomes in factory and operational settings—organizing recruitment, succession planning, and training calendars to improve the employee experience. At Abdos Lamitubes Nigeria Ltd, I supported performance management systems and achieved a 40% reduction in production downtime through a robust manpower pool for succession planning, while ensuring targets through effective factory manpower planning.

Across my roles, I strengthen compensation and benefits administration, payroll administration, HR statutory remittance, onboarding, employee engagement, and stakeholder management. I bring mastery in performance evaluation, team building and effectiveness, factory HR operations, and talent management—partnering with organizations to optimize resources for optimum return and profits.
