What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my analytical skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on data-driven decision-making and strategic growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented research analyst with a strong foundation in both accounting and software engineering. My academic journey at the University of Lagos, where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Accounting, has equipped me with analytical skills that I have applied in various professional settings. I have successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to develop strategic recommendations that drive growth and mitigate risks, particularly in the cryptocurrency and podcasting sectors.

My experience includes working at Trade Maven, where I led a team in conducting in-depth research and formulating monetization strategies that increased revenue by 20%. Additionally, my role as a Senior Fund Analyst at The Investment Society has honed my ability to assess financial risks and develop strategies to enhance investment decisions. I am passionate about leveraging data to inform business strategies and am eager to contribute my skills to a dynamic team.
