What I'm looking for

I’m actively seeking remote or Europe-based Instructional Design and L&D roles where I can build measurable learning ecosystems—combining TNA, curriculum design, and SCORM/xAPI eLearning development for real business impact.

I’m a Learning and Development specialist with 18+ years of progressive experience designing, developing, and deploying high-impact learning solutions for global and regional organisations. I translate business needs into measurable capability outcomes across financial services, telecoms, FMCG, market research, and international development.

I build end-to-end learning ecosystems—owning the strategy, instructional design, and delivery—while staying hands-on with eLearning development using Articulate Rise 360, Storyline 3, ScormStack, iSpring Suite, and SCORM/xAPI standards. As Founder and Chief Learning Officer at Lead Edge Learning Solutions, I’ve led SCORM-compliant multi-module projects for ECOWAS/ECOWAP, including a 16-module, 24-hour “Climate-Smart Agriculture” course with full course mapping, storyboards, video scripts, and voiceover texts.

Earlier, I built the Deekay Academy from the ground up, establishing TNA processes, annual plans, post-training evaluation, and budget frameworks. I designed 20 bespoke learning modules, achieved facilitator satisfaction ratings of 4.5/5 and learner satisfaction ratings of 8.9/10, and embedded continuous learning through a Lunch and Learn programme and LinkedIn Learning—while tracking learning impact against business KPIs.
