What I'm looking for

Experienced business strategist seeking strategic leadership role in talent management. Passionate about driving organizational growth through innovative strategies. Collaboration-oriented with a focus on cultural fit, growth opportunities, and making a meaningful impact.

I am the Chief Strategy Officer and founder of Retela Business Group. I built the DSIIR (Dynamic Strategic Insights & Intelligence Reporting) framework – my proprietary methodology that fuses AI‑augmented analytics with human strategic intelligence.

Over 15 years across Africa and the GCC (PwC Africa, Masafi GCC), I have helped C‑suite leaders transform organisations, optimise capital, and compete in complex markets.

Key achievements:

- Grew Retela 35% YoY, securing 3 enterprise retainers at £25k+ annually.

- Reallocated 22% of opex to high‑ROI initiatives, improving ROCE by 18% in 12 months.

- Cut executive decision‑cycle time by 40% with unified strategic dashboards.

- Led HRIS transformation from 15% to 92% usage at Masafi (2,200 staff, 5 countries), reducing voluntary turnover by 5% in six months.

- Managed $3M+ monthly payroll across 5 countries.

- At PwC Africa, helped a consulting unit exceed revenue targets by 30% for two consecutive years.

Skills: AI prompt engineering (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity); HR systems (Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP); job evaluation (Hay, Paterson); SPSS; digital marketing.

Interests: AI‑augmented intelligence, global capital reallocation (BRI, China‑Africa trade), decision intelligence under uncertainty, SME enablement in emerging markets, and multi‑disciplinary integration across finance, HR, and geopolitics.

I am not looking for a traditional role. I build intelligence systems. Open to fractional CSO, strategic intelligence advisory, or speaking on DSIIR and AI‑driven strategy.
