What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a VP or COO role at a funded African scaleup where I can build scalable customer success, delivery, and operational systems that help the company grow meaningfully.

I've built customer success, delivery, and operational systems at Credrails, Copia Global, and JamboPay across fintech, e-commerce, mobility, and public-sector technology.

At Credrails, I built and led the customer success function for banks, fintechs, and payment providers across Nigeria, Benin, Kenya, and Ghana. I designed SLAs, escalation protocols, success playbooks, reporting routines, and delivery workflows while leading root-cause analysis that improved platform reliability and reduced churn drivers.

As an independent consultant, I work inside high-growth tech and fintech teams to build the onboarding, CRM, SOP, retention, and cross-functional operating rhythms that let companies scale without constant intervention. I'm looking to bring that depth to a VP or COO role at a funded African scaleup.
