PMP-certified Project Manager who leads remote-first teams to deliver measurable outcomes across tech, industrial, and service sectors.
What I'm looking for
I’m a PMP-certified Project Manager with 5+ years of cross-industry experience leading both remote and in-person teams, managing stakeholders, and delivering measurable outcomes across tech, industrial, and service sectors.
I thrive in distributed, remote-first environments—especially where asynchronous communication and digital-first coordination are essential. I’ve shaped strategies, coordinated multi-party partnerships, and kept cross-functional initiatives moving in fully distributed, asynchronous work settings.
In my CTO role, I shaped organizational strategy and roadmap for a pan-African blockchain education initiative, onboarding executive leaders across remote locations and negotiating partnership proposals with international organizations. In operational and compliance-focused work, I designed safety training programs for 50+ workers and planned emergency response drills to reduce incident response time.
I also bring strong leadership and community engagement through YALI and JCI, blending operational execution with public-facing responsibility. Whether I’m overseeing daily delivery timelines, recruiting and training teams, or improving efficiency through business consulting, my focus stays the same: clear planning, consistent execution, and stakeholder alignment that drives results.
