What I'm looking for

I’m interested in executive and senior management opportunities where strategic thinking translates into measurable execution through operational transformation, service improvement, technology-enabled change, governance, or commercial performance.

At 7D Consultants, I support small and growing construction companies with tender advisory, bid management, and business support. I assess tender readiness and help clients prepare compliant, commercially credible submissions.

Through KG Consultants and my earlier work across banking, insurance, technology, and property, I’ve worked on operational improvement, governance, customer service, and commercial delivery. At MiWay Insurance Limited, I supervised digital claims operations and handled complex customer queries, achieving a reported 95% customer satisfaction rate.
