NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Gen AI–enabled Project Manager with 5+ years of experience leading end-to-end delivery across energy, agro-allied/food processing, and infrastructure projects. I break work into clear tasks, assign ownership, track progress, and manage risks to protect timelines, scope, and budget.
I’ve directed renewable energy initiatives including solar cold storage systems and sustainable power solutions, reducing production downtime by 60% and identifying cost-reduction opportunities worth $20,000+ without compromising quality. I’ve managed and optimized operational budgets of $500,000+ while driving Lean/Six Sigma–informed process improvement.
In my current role, I build visibility through Excel/Power BI dashboards, generate project updates with AI meeting assistants, and standardize project charters, briefs, and closure reports. I lead cross-functional teams in Agile and hybrid environments, improving execution through better inventory management (30% decrease in stockouts) and stronger stakeholder alignment.
