Business development and operations leader, driving strategic partnerships and cross-functional project delivery.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a strategic business development and operations professional who leads cross-functional projects end-to-end—pairing stakeholder engagement, procurement support, and client relationship management with a commercial, growth-focused mindset. In my recent Project Manager role, I coordinated multiple teams, improved operational efficiency, supported supplier negotiations, and produced management reports and presentations to keep performance moving forward.
Earlier, I managed business operations and production planning while coordinating teams to deliver successful projects. I also bring an engineering foundation alongside additional training in film directing and acting, which sharpens my creativity, leadership, and communication—strengths I aim to apply to identify growth opportunities, negotiate effectively, and drive measurable business results.
