What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead go-to-market and product strategy in fintech, use agile methods to deliver, and help teams grow. I want ownership, clear outcomes, and a chance to scale with strong customer focus.

I’m a mentor and self-starter with entrepreneurial experience of 12years, having managed over20 startups and delivered strategic management plans from ideation to off market. I bring a practical, outcomes-first approach to growth, operations, and execution.

As a Management Consultant, I’ve supported go-to-market strategy, procurement readiness, function setup, and fundraising. I’m currently helping to fundraise for $500,000 for a tech startup (webs creation), and I’ve previously managed budgets of over $5,000 across equipment, training, marketing campaigns, seminars, and conferences.

In fintech, I’ve served as a Business Analyst and Product Owner working on payments and alternative payment methods. I’ve worked with real-time/instant payments, global payment rails outside of credit cards, and microservices and API management—plus exposure to fraud management and anti-money laundering through Kalyma’s business intelligence solutions.

I operate confidently with agile tools and cross-cultural teams, managing cross cultural teams between 12-15 across Africa, Middle East, Russia, Americas. I combine SQL data analysis and customer-focused decision making with Agile Project Management, Scrum leadership, and problem solving to move initiatives from strategy to shipped results.
