What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support executive leadership through governance and compliance-driven execution—turning priorities into tracked action, producing board-ready documentation, and using research-backed communication to strengthen partnerships, events, and measurable outcomes.

I’m a results-driven Special Assistant to the President & CEO with 7+ years’ multidisciplinary experience across legal, media & communications, NGOs & CSOs, insurance, finance, and education. I enable CEO effectiveness by turning critical priorities into structured, time-bound execution.

In my current role at the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET), I manage time-sensitive deliverables, coordinate weekly Management Committee meetings, and maintain a centralized leadership action tracker to monitor progress, flag risks, and drive accountability. I also synthesize policy and sector research to support CEO speeches, blogs, donor conversations, and executive communications.

Previously at Bayport Savings & Loans PLC, I coordinated board papers, meeting agendas, and action tracking for senior leadership and EXCO/MANCO discussions. I drafted and reviewed agreements and corporate documentation to support compliance with legislative frameworks, and I managed licensing applications, reporting renewals, and registration with relevant authorities.

Earlier, I served as an Executive Assistant to the Group CEO at Old Mutual, where I authored CEO speeches and presentations, supported board governance and statutory filings, and improved productivity through an execution-focused project management system (including a noted 35% productivity improvement). I also contribute as a Legal Advisor (Volunteer) by advising on prudent legal practices, implementing corporate governance strategies through internal audits, and minimizing legal risks.
