What I'm looking for

I'm looking to partner with executive leadership teams, financial institutions, fintechs, banks, microfinance institutions, and lending businesses to strengthen portfolio performance, optimize collections and recovery, reduce credit losses, and drive sustainable growth.

I've led collections and recovery operations at PFI Financial, XGO Finance Ltd, and Direct Bridge Nigeria Limited, managing credit administration, delinquency processes, debt recovery, and repayment negotiations.

Across banking, fintech, and financial services, I've managed high-value loan portfolios, reduced outstanding loan balances by 85%, increased customer acquisition by 40%, and strengthened asset quality through data-driven collections strategies, credit risk management, portfolio monitoring, and regulatory compliance. I build high-performing teams and align credit operations with sustainable business growth.
