What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead cross-market BD and growth—owning KPIs, pipeline, and partner relationships—while building high-performance teams and using CRM + analytics to drive consistent deposit growth.

I'm a Growth & Business Development leader with 12+ years of experience turning early-stage markets into scalable revenue engines including growing an active client base from under 50 to over 5,000 and generating $1M+ in new revenue within a single year.

I've built and coached teams of 20+, run CRM-driven pipelines, and delivered consistent, KPI-backed results across six African markets. My core strengths include pipeline strategy, partner negotiation, performance reporting, and AI-powered productivity tools that I can translate directly into any industry that needs someone who can build systems, lead people, and drive measurable growth. I'm now looking to bring that same growth discipline to a new sector, fully remote.

From Nigeria to Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, South Africa, and Francophone Africa, I lead end-to-end BD cycles—prospecting, stakeholder mapping, negotiation, onboarding, and long-term retention. I also strengthen community and market intelligence engines, leveraging segmentation and structured reporting to guide data-informed strategy and consistent month-on-month deposit performance.
