What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior roles where I can drive commercial growth, lead operations and strategic projects, improve processes, and build partnerships across West Africa and international markets.

I am a senior business development and operations leader with 15+ years' experience in shipping, logistics, renewable energy and international trade across Africa and international markets. I specialize in sales strategy, market and data analysis, business intelligence, contract negotiation and supply chain optimization, with a proven record of expanding footprints, improving commercial performance and ensuring SLA compliance.

I have led strategic projects, negotiated complex supply chain contracts, coordinated logistics with freight forwarders and maritime partners, and built partnerships with governments, NGOs and suppliers. My background includes senior operational roles, feasibility and financial analysis for feeder networks, IT-driven business transformation and delivering BI/KPI reporting to improve data quality and decision-making.
