What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead entrepreneurship, incubation, and education programs where I can build partnerships, support founders, manage multi-country delivery, and create measurable impact across African ecosystems.

I've led entrepreneurship and education programs across eight countries at Schule Z Africa, while designing incubators for YNOV University and ISMAGI. I manage programs from scoping and curriculum design through budgets, partner agreements, KPI tracking, and impact reporting.

I've also delivered projects for META and UCLG Africa, including managing an $80,000 budget for Entrepreneur Z and implementing GIS projects for 54 local authorities. As a founder and co-founder of Entrepreneur Z, Buntou, and Dar Afrika Restaurant, I bring practical venture-building experience to mentoring early-stage entrepreneurs through the Tony Elumelu Foundation.
