What I'm looking for

I seek a senior communications role where I can lead integrated strategies, manage crisis response, mentor teams, and drive stakeholder engagement within a global, mission-driven organisation.

I am a seasoned and detail-oriented communications strategist with progressive experience in corporate communications, media relations, and strategic consulting for global energy corporations. I have led doctoral research in political communication, earned a City University of London studentship, and secured an Executive MBA scholarship from Quantic, combining strong analytical research skills with practical communications leadership.

I have developed integrated communication strategies, managed crisis communications, and directed media operations across diverse cultural environments including the UK, Oman, and Nigeria. My achievements include launching integrated post-merger communications campaigns, transforming media-relations processes, coaching teams to improve performance, and consistently elevating organisational visibility through strategic content and stakeholder engagement.
