What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role in Customer Experience, Retentions, Support, or Sales within Tech/SaaS/Telecoms where I can lead retention strategy, reduce churn, and use data to improve customer outcomes.

I am a customer experience, retentions, and sales specialist with over eight years of experience across Tech, Telematics, Telecommunications, and customer support environments. I combine hands-on operational leadership with technical familiarity from ongoing BSc Information Technology studies.

At Ikeja Wireless I develop retention strategies, manage collections, lead teams, and provide data-driven insights to reduce churn and improve loyalty. Previously at Tracker Connect and Cell C I converted cancellations into renewals, managed escalations, and optimised team performance against SLAs.

My strengths include CRM and billing platform proficiency, escalations management, process improvement, and coaching high-performing teams. I have delivered measurable improvements in customer retention, reduced churn, and improved operational efficiency.

I am passionate about customer advocacy, problem-solving, and leveraging technology to elevate customer experience, and I seek roles where I can apply retention strategy, analytics, and leadership to drive business outcomes.
