What I'm looking for

I seek senior/C-level roles where I can lead growth-focused teams, scale revenue, optimise operations, and drive market expansion while mentoring cross-functional teams.

I am a results-driven Business Development Manager with a strong record of designing and executing growth strategies that increase revenue and reduce costs. I developed a business model that increased profit margin by 30% and cut operational costs by 40% within six months at Baker Industries, and I delivered campaigns that generated over 50 million Naira in revenue.

I have led and scaled business development and marketing functions across sectors including real estate, security, hospitality and fashion, pioneering new branches and departments, standardising marketing processes, and driving rapid revenue gains — for example a 50% revenue increase in three months at Noble Guard Security and a 200% ROI increase in six months at Puri-Care.

I combine market research, CRM-driven customer relationship management, social media growth, and analytics to open new markets and sustain partnerships. I am actively seeking C-level responsibility where I can empower cross-functional teams to drive organisational goals and superior service.
