What I'm looking for

I want to grow in a solution-driven environment where I can lead business development and marketing with strong partnership strategy and data-driven reporting, and where learning, hard work, and measurable success are actively encouraged.

I’m a Head of Business Development and marketing at TROIS CHENNES NIGERIA LIMITED, focused on driving company growth through strategic partnership building, client acquisition, and targeted brand campaigns. I translate market insight into action with lead generation, proposal management, and campaign execution, while tracking performance through ROI optimization and reporting.

Before this, I led Human resources and Administration as a Manager at Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), where I coordinated internal weekly staff training, managed staff redeployment and leave matters, and handled new staff documentation and filing. I also worked across departments to ensure staff were properly supported within office operations.

Earlier roles at MTN Nigeria Network (MTNN) strengthened my research and commercialization skill set. As a Research Analyst: Business Intelligence, I analyzed raw data, produced qualitative and quantitative research reports, and delivered business insights by tracking market trends; as a Trade Marketing Consultant, I managed distribution channel relationships, enforced branding and merchandising standards, and ensured product availability with weekly/monthly reporting.
