What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build customer-centric, compliant financial products where I can combine product, finance, data, and risk governance to drive ethical growth and better user experiences.

I've spent 7+ years at the intersection of finance, product, and technology, building customer-centric and compliant banking solutions. At Jaiz Bank, I lead the Northern Nigeria commercial banking hub, managing a €30M balance sheet budget.

I support 500+ businesses across 19 states through ethical SME financing, increased financing by €8.2M, and launched €4.5M in Sharia-compliant green investments with NGOs. I also designed POS data analytics tools for 300+ SMEs to improve customer experience and sustainable supply chains.

My background spans commercial and retail banking, customer service, finance, and operations. I balance profitability, risk governance, and ethical financial services while using product management, research, and cross-functional collaboration to deliver measurable outcomes.
