What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a business development role in oil & gas where I can build disciplined opportunity pipelines, manage vendor registration and tenders, and partner with OEMs—using Power BI and analytics to strengthen stakeholder decisions and win growth.

I’m a results-driven business development executive with hands-on experience building commercial pipelines, securing vendor registrations, and developing strategic partnerships across Nigeria’s upstream and midstream oil & gas sector. In my current role, I own market development from prospecting and client engagement through tender submission, regulatory compliance, and OEM partnership management.

I’ve built and managed a structured opportunity pipeline spanning upstream drilling, gas infrastructure, fabrication, and procurement supply categories. I successfully completed vendor registrations with 4 major operators and activated sourcing visibility across key procurement platforms, while coordinating RFQs, EOIs, market survey responses, and bid packaging.

Beyond BD, I bring a measurable, data-informed approach shaped by corporate communication and data analytics mentorship work. I develop reporting with Power BI and advanced Excel, support data literacy across teams, and combine stakeholder engagement with procurement- and commercial-level discipline to drive consistent growth.
