What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote-first operations role where I can run payroll administration, cross-border payments and reconciliations, manage stakeholder escalations, and improve processes—while partnering asynchronously with multicultural teams.

I’m an operations professional with nine years’ experience spanning payroll and financial administration, payment reconciliation, and client-facing stakeholder management across entertainment, hospitality, and international live events.

I coordinate cross-border payments and help resolve withholding tax and payment-related issues, while managing invoicing, expense tracking, and vendor/contractor payments. I’m comfortable protecting delivery timelines by stepping in as a key point of contact for escalations across artists, sponsors, and commercial partners.

Most recently, as an Executive & Project Assistant supporting the Regional Director at The Orchard (Sony Music), I handle payroll administration, budget administration, invoice tracking, financial reconciliation, and leadership reporting across Nigeria, Kenya, and France. I also coordinate international travel, accommodation, and welfare logistics for talent and project teams.

Previously, as Manager & Chief Operating Officer at Dope Caesar Entertainment, I managed payroll coordination, contractor payments, withholding tax resolution, and end-to-end booking operations. I led a five-person cross-functional team, improved reporting consistency by building financial and booking trackers, and continue to bring a process-improvement mindset—supported by PRINCE2 and Agile (Scrum) training—to fast-paced, remote-first environments.
