What I'm looking for

I seek a product role where I can lead cross-functional teams, use research and data to shape product strategy, and deliver user-centered MVPs with measurable impact.

I am a product manager with hands-on experience leading end-to-end product development for edtech, healthtech, and research platforms across Africa. I combine user and market research, PRDs, and agile practices to deliver prototypes and MVPs that align teams and reduce development risk.

My work has included coordinating cross-functional teams of designers, developers, analysts, and marketers to launch products that reached early traction—such as Coursearly achieving 200+ active users post-launch—and delivering high-fidelity prototypes and roadmaps for Pan-African platforms.

I bring strong data-analysis capability (Excel, Power BI, basic SQL), Scrum and CSM training, and a track record of user-testing and iterative improvement that increased satisfaction and informed prioritization. I seek roles where I can lead product strategy, mentor teams, and drive measurable user and business outcomes.
