What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a commercial leadership role where I can grow airline revenues through strong partnerships, smarter distribution/GDS execution, and disciplined strategic planning—while driving operational efficiency and team performance.

I’m a GSA Manager with over a decade of experience in business development and airline management, currently supporting airline representation, relationship management, and revenue growth at Grezy Global Limited.

I build and sustain strong partnerships, optimize distribution channels, and drive sales through strategic planning, effective marketing and promotions, and operational coordination—always with an eye on measurable business outcomes.

Across my roles, I’ve managed distribution and GDS processes, supported financial and administrative oversight, and guided teams with leadership and team management. I also bring market intelligence analysis and negotiation expertise to inform route planning, pricing decisions, and commercial strategy.

Previously at Wakanow, I helped resuscitate a travel agency after dormancy, supported GBV close to Ngn1Billion in 8 months, expanded the customer base, and identified new opportunities through market research, client acquisition, and cross-functional coordination. Earlier experience includes corporate and trade account management at Etihad Airways and early growth and route development in Nigeria at RwandAir.
