NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
At Interswitch, I own Verve’s consumer product roadmap across Nigeria and regional markets, coordinating banks, fintechs, merchants and solution providers. I delivered a loyalty VAS pilot that onboarded 100,000+ customers and created a repeatable partner-enablement model.
I've spent 7+ years across banking, fintech and payment infrastructure, leading card roadmaps, processor integrations and partnerships at Access Bank, Fidelity Bank and Sterling Bank. My work has grown credit-card revenue by 27%, expanded active portfolios, and supported card programmes involving issuers, processors and government stakeholders.
