What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Business Development professional with experience identifying opportunities, managing client relationships, and driving revenue growth across multiple regions. My background combines sales strategy, market research, and operations with hands-on data annotation work for AI projects.
In business development roles I sourced and qualified leads, managed pipelines, and set appointments to close deals, expanding client bases in Oyo State, Port Harcourt, and Lagos. I collaborated closely with marketing and sales teams to turn market insights into effective strategies.
As Operations Head I oversaw import and export logistics for agricultural commodities, implemented operational improvements, and ensured regulatory compliance while building supplier and client relationships to support business growth.
In data annotation I reviewed and labeled data to project guidelines, collaborated with cross-functional teams on projects (including contributions to models like Illama 3.5), and maintained rigorous accuracy and record-keeping to enhance AI training data quality.
