What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation, values collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with over 5 years of experience leading cross-functional teams in the Fintech, Banking, and Insurance sectors. My journey has been marked by a commitment to delivering high-impact results through digital project management across EMEA and the U.S. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills in agile methodologies and stakeholder engagement to drive continuous process improvement.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed diverse projects, including the development of B2B2C platforms and automation solutions that enhance operational efficiency. My role as a Project Manager at SecondSTAX Limited allowed me to implement strategic project plans and facilitate expansion projects across Africa, ensuring compliance with local regulations. I am passionate about using data analytics to inform decision-making and improve project outcomes, as demonstrated in my previous positions where I led initiatives that significantly reduced service level agreement (SLA) days and boosted product adoption.
