What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead operations and projects end-to-end, drive cost and service improvements, and use my growing data analytics skills to make decisions that boost profitability and execution.

I’m a results-driven Operations and Project Management professional with over 10 years of progressive leadership experience across retail, manufacturing, facility management, and mining sectors in Ghana. I focus on operational efficiency, cost control, procurement, and team leadership—then translate that into measurable improvements in profitability and service quality.

In my current role as Project Manager at Top Quality Investment Ltd (Asante Gold Bibiani Mine Site), I ensure compliance with environmental, health, and safety standards while monitoring food and operational costs to maximize catering profitability. Previously, as Operations & Facility Manager at SG Mall, I progressed through three roles and led end-to-end mall operations, negotiated cost-saving strategies, managed inventory, coordinated tenant rent and fee collections, and aligned external vendor contracts with leasing terms.
