What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support C-suite leaders by building scalable operational systems—compliance, reporting, and executive coordination. I thrive in roles like Chief of Staff or operations leadership, including remote opportunities where I can solve real business problems.

I’m a results-driven Executive Operations Manager with 8+ years of experience supporting C-suite executives, managing multi-entity business operations, and building scalable administrative infrastructure. I don’t just manage schedules—I build systems, solve operational problems, and help executives lead better.

Currently, I serve as an Executive Assistant and Admin Manager at a 7-subsidiary Nigerian conglomerate, where I provide direct strategic support to the Managing Director. I lead compliance operations, oversee fleet management, coordinate business development, and supervise a junior executive assistant—while coordinating administrative and operational functions across all 7 subsidiaries as the operational hub.

Alongside corporate operations, I’m a recognised voice in professional development, with 37,000+ LinkedIn followers and a newsletter (Scale and Succeed) for business owners and leaders across Africa. I also deliver remote executive support and virtual assistant services for entrepreneurs and SME owners, bringing content strategy, operational workflows, and reporting discipline to growing businesses.
