What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my product management skills to drive impactful solutions and contribute to a dynamic team.

I am a strategic Product Manager with over 5 years of experience in building and scaling B2B/B2C SaaS and fintech products across mobile, web, and USSD platforms. My proven track record includes launching full-cycle digital solutions that have driven over 120% year-over-year revenue growth. I excel in leading cross-functional teams in fast-paced environments and have a knack for blending AI-driven insights with user feedback to create personalized, intuitive experiences.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered impactful projects such as a school fee financing MVP that achieved a 28% month-over-month growth in loan disbursements. My experience includes managing end-to-end product delivery for over 1 million users, where I introduced innovative features that significantly improved user retention and engagement. I am passionate about creating customer-centric products that provide long-term value and usability.
