At Afrigain Trading Limited, I secured $215,000 in debt financing by building a dynamic financial model for executive and lender review. I also prepared an investment memorandum and pitch deck for a two-phase facility.

I redesigned commodity aggregation across 15 centres in seven states, cutting sourcing lead time by 15% and supporting 5,000 MT of annual volume. I also built automated fund and expense tracking that reduced month-end reconciliation from five days to one.

As a Consultant at Sahel Consulting Agriculture and Nutrition, I analysed production and market data for 150 farmers and recommended crop and livestock allocation, raising projected margins by 15%. I built Power BI dashboards on cassava weed management data that IPPRI used to assess cassava pesticide outcomes.

At PPI and KOG Nigeria Limited, I created KPI dashboards and a data warehouse that unified data from more than three sources. The dashboards supported a 20% improvement in data-driven decision-making, while the warehouse reduced data retrieval time by 45%.
