What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles in VC or investment teams where I can lead deal analysis, enhance portfolio operations, and drive sustainable growth in African markets.

I am an investment and operations professional with deep experience across venture capital, private equity and credit portfolios in Africa. I combine rigorous financial modelling, due diligence and investment research to recommend high-conviction opportunities and drive portfolio value.

At Microtraction I provided investment recommendations across multiple startups and supported portfolio companies with a collective valuation of $100 million, while designing and implementing 21+ SOPs to improve operational efficiency. I have led M&A and fundraising transactions, authored investment memos, and built fund models incorporating IRR, MOIC and DPI metrics.

My background includes managing credit and fixed-income portfolios, structuring loans, and performing cash flow and risk assessments for SMEs and larger issuers. I have also run investment readiness processes that secured multi-hundred-million-naira capital and managed secure data rooms and stakeholder engagements.

I bring a focus on sustainable development, climate resilience and gender equity to investment work, and I use tools like Excel, PowerPoint and Power BI to translate analysis into actionable recommendations that support founders and investors across African growth markets.
