What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead evidence-driven public-sector strategy, institutional reform and policy advisory work that improves service delivery, strengthens governance and creates practical outcomes for communities.

At KPMG Nigeria, I develop strategic advisory products, institutional assessments and reform roadmaps for government institutions and development partners, turning complex evidence into practical recommendations for service delivery and implementation.

Previously at SBM Intelligence, I led and contributed to research across governance, security, labour, health and social development, including UNICEF's school-closure survey, the Health Preparedness Index and the SBM Jollof Index. Across 47 research projects, I've produced policy briefs, evaluations and knowledge products for organisations including UNICEF, the African Development Bank, the Ford Foundation and USAID-supported programmes, while also co-founding We Save Lives Africa to deliver community-led support initiatives.
