What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead international growth, partnerships, and market-entry work where commercial results and sustainable social impact can grow together.

I'm building global business strategies at AIESEC International, where I've increased market share by 35%, supported entry into up to 13 new markets, and secured anchor partners generating over USD 75,000.

I manage a $4 million corporate partnership portfolio across 10 B2B enterprise accounts, maintaining zero partner churn across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and MEA. My work connects stakeholder priorities to go-to-market strategies across sustainability and inclusion initiatives.

Previously, I led revenue growth, strategic alliances, and national expansion as Country Director for AIESEC in Nigeria, while also securing institutional funding and facilitating Germany-to-Nigeria market entry at The Nest Innovation Technology Park.
