Learning & Development specialist driving enterprise HR and talent transformation across regions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a seasoned HR, Talent Management and L&D professional with 13+ years of cross-industry experience across energy, manufacturing, engineering, education, and consulting across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
I lead large-scale digital learning transformations, including enterprise LMS/LXP rollouts across 19+ countries, with proven impact on adoption and measurable learning outcomes.
At Dangote Cement PLC, I directed end-to-end L&D and talent management for 2,700+ employees, achieving 19%→70% SAP SuccessFactors LMS adoption within 9 months, scaling LinkedIn Learning active usage, and delivering 250+ training programmes and 70,000+ hours of development.
My core strength is connecting instructional design, SCORM/xAPI learning technology, and governance with talent management, succession planning, and performance management—so teams get scalable learning ecosystems, stronger coaching cultures, and ROI-focused decision-making.
