What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a client engagement or lead qualification role where I can use French and English to build rapport, manage outreach-to-close conversations, document pipeline activity, and help a remote team turn interest into clear next steps.

I've built an independent bilingual client-engagement practice on Upwork, sourcing, pitching, onboarding, and retaining clients in French and English. Over 5+ years, I've maintained a 100% job success score and 80% long-term client retention.

At Tikera Africa, I connected government and institutional stakeholders—including the African Union and GIZ—with community participants across a 12-country programme, moving conversations into confirmed commitments.

I'm used to documenting decisions, managing follow-ups, and keeping multi-party work moving from first contact through handoff and delivery. I handle objections diplomatically and stay composed when coordinating high-profile stakeholders under pressure.

I've also tracked engagement metrics at FBUX Consulting and provided front-line customer support at Deking Navigation Concept, helping increase client retention by 20%. I work remotely from Lagos using Google Workspace, Trello, Asana, and Slack.
