NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a data-driven Product Manager with 4+ years of experience across data processing, analysis, security, and compliance. I turn complex datasets into actionable insights, and I’ve built dashboards and automated workflows that improve accuracy, efficiency, and stakeholder communication.
Currently, I’m part of a small founding team building a platform to improve freelancing across Africa, where I lead user research, shape product strategy, and create user journey maps to guide MVP decisions. Previously, as a Data Analyst in the UK, I maintained 99% data accuracy through data cleansing and optimized processes (improving efficiency by 30%), and at Access Bank I strengthened fraud detection by flagging suspicious transactions and delivering interactive Power BI reporting (improving data communication by 40%).
