What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote operations, vendor management, or partnerships role where I can scale vendor ecosystems and operational infrastructure. I value autonomous work, strategic problem-solving, and growth-focused teams, preferably in fintech, logistics, SaaS, or emerging-market technology.

At Stanbic IBTC Pension Managers, I lead vendor and procurement operations across five business units, influencing ₦2bn–₦5bn+ in annual spend. I manage sourcing, supplier qualification, commercial negotiations, delivery tracking, and audit-ready documentation for infrastructure, facilities, IT, power, and cooling services.

I've delivered 500%+ savings on targeted sourcing initiatives and previously reduced facilities costs by up to 22% at Purple. I work independently across engineering, finance, logistics, projects, and vendors to keep complex, regulated operations aligned on cost, quality, compliance, and delivery.
