Experienced product leader specializing in digital payment solutions.
What I'm looking for
With over 9 years of experience in product management, I have successfully led cross-functional teams to create innovative user-centered solutions in the digital payments sector. My journey has been marked by a commitment to driving growth and enhancing customer experiences, as evidenced by my role at Duplo Limited, where I spearheaded a product team that achieved an average monthly growth in payments of 5%.
Throughout my career, I have launched SaaS products that significantly increased user engagement and conversion rates, and I have introduced initiatives that stabilized payment processing, resulting in an 18% reduction in payment failure rates. My experience spans various roles, including Senior Product Manager at Zazuu HQ Ltd, where I led a multidisciplinary team to develop a Minimum Viable Product for cross-border payments, and at Guaranty Trust Bank, where I grew the active user base by 19% through strategic data mining and customer segmentation.
