@nnennanwosu-igbo
Operations & business development leader driving commercial growth across Africa and Europe.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations and business development leader with 15+ years of experience driving operational excellence, commercial growth, and integrated solutions delivery across Africa and Europe. I’m known for simplifying complex operations, building high-value client relationships, and developing commercially viable models that align strategy with execution.
In my current role as an Operations Manager (Nigeria), I lead country strategy and performance across business units, oversee budgeting and cost control, and drive process optimization through data-driven continuous improvement. Before this, at Halliburton, I led business development across Europe (UK, EU, Türkiye, Israel), managed a £150M business, and strengthened market-share growth by integrating product lines into unified commercial and operational models.
I’ve also managed large-scale integrated services delivery, including a $100M annual integrated services contract, leading multidisciplinary teams in a matrix structure while bridging project development to execution. As a PMP-certified Project & Program professional, I focus on governance, risk management, and stakeholder alignment to deliver predictable, high-quality performance.
