Finance and data analytics professional blending financial modeling with data-driven insights.
What I'm looking for
I am a finance and data analytics professional with hands-on experience in equity research, investment banking execution, and applied data analysis. I combine formal finance training with practical analytics skills to deliver valuation-driven insights and actionable recommendations.
At Afrinvest Research and Consulting I provided market coverage for major Nigerian Oil & Gas firms, co-authored sector research, and built DCF/DDM valuations that informed 12-month target prices. I also supported business development efforts that contributed to significant revenue growth.
In investment banking, I assisted on multiple large commercial paper issuances, prepared pitch materials, and helped develop a strategic financial recovery plan for a top FMCG company through benchmarking and financial analysis. My project work has supported investor decision-making in renewable energy and guided sub-national food-security programs.
I teach and mentor in data analytics, having designed a beginner-friendly curriculum and delivered workshops that improved learner proficiency. I am proficient in financial modeling, SQL, Power BI and R, and bring a collaborative, impact-focused approach to every engagement.
