NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I've led operations and program delivery at Simba Experiential Services, translating client briefs into execution plans, budgets, vendor requirements, schedules, and delivery controls across experiential marketing, transportation, and business operations.
Previously at Proximity Communications Nigeria, I oversaw 40+ projects across 15+ major brands, including Coca-Cola Nigeria, Guinness Nigeria, Promasidor, Kimberly-Clark, and Dangote. I managed nationwide programs and large-scale productions, coordinated project managers and regional field teams, and protected margins on projects valued up to approximately ₦300M.
I build practical operating systems that improve visibility, reduce key-person dependency, strengthen vendor performance, and support better commercial decisions. My business analysis training adds requirements gathering, process mapping, SQL, Power BI, Agile, Jira, and data-driven reporting to my delivery experience.
