Chukwudubem Ifeanyi-okafor
@chukwudubemifeanyi-o
I build enterprise pipelines and structure complex technology, banking, and energy deals.
What I'm looking for
At Claviant Energy Services, I own the enterprise commercial pipeline for technical services, shaping gas offtake proposals and long-term mandates for NNPC subsidiaries and international operators.
Across Wema, Providus, and Fidelity, I've managed corporate and institutional relationships, carried a ₦3.5 billion annual target, grew deposit relationships to ₦15 billion, and contributed to more than $25 million in lending and transaction origination.
I've also taken a fintech app into beta at Finhive Tech, building partnerships, shaping the roadmap, and translating technical products into compelling commercial cases. My chemical engineering background and daily use of Claude and ChatGPT help me connect business, technical, and procurement stakeholders around AI and complex solutions.
