Otobong Akadi
@otobongakadi
Operations and business development professional building data-driven growth systems for global remote teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven operations and business development professional with experience spanning B2B sales, people operations support, internal auditing, SOX compliance, and platform building. I’m recognized as a Star Performer in the Excelerate × Pepagora B2B Sales & Growth Internship for strategic execution and pipeline thinking. I bring a highly structured, detail-oriented, deadline-managed working style to every engagement.
In my B2B sales work, I designed and executed a 9-stage outbound pipeline with defined KPIs, conversion benchmarks, and SLA monitoring logic—from lead identification and BANT qualification to demos, onboarding, 90-day activation, and retention. I also built a 5-criteria lead scoring system to qualify 200 SMEs, ran multi-touch outreach across WhatsApp, cold email, and LinkedIn, and improved outreach efficiency by advancing only 6+ scoring leads. Across the program, I maintained CRM data accuracy and visibility with a 5-field CRM tracking framework, and I supported growth with 4 A/B testing experiments using success metrics and If/Then logic.
Right now, I’m building CloudForge AI, a two-sided contractor-homeowner matching platform, while publicly documenting 62 consecutive operational tools across onboarding, workflow automation, revenue modelling, trust systems, and knowledge management. My background in ICAN (ACA) accountancy and internal auditing adds process integrity and audit-ready documentation habits, and I’m confident collaborating async across multiple time zones using Asana, Google Workspace, and CRM systems. I’m fluent in English (C1) and I’m open to global remote roles where strong operations, disciplined execution, and measurable growth outcomes matter.
