What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead evidence-based journalism, editorial strategy, strategic communications, and advocacy work that improves public understanding, grows engaged audiences, and delivers meaningful social impact.

I'm leading communications, editorial strategy, content operations, growth, and brand positioning for WhirlSpot Media and its football and culture platform, BOX18 Africa. I oversee newsroom workflows, commissioning, writing, editing, fact-checking, and audience development.

At Businessfront, I report on Africa's energy and finance sectors, translating complex economic, financial, and policy developments into accessible analysis for business leaders, investors, and policymakers. My investigative reports, policy analysis, and data-driven features contributed to a 30% increase in readership.

I've led African coverage at TrimFeed, managed the features desk at Entrepreneurs NG, and produced technology reporting and the weekly AI Column at Techparley. My work has included editorial innovation, SEO strategy, long-form reporting, interviews, and coverage of startups, public policy, climate, health, business, and technology.

I also founded the Caroline Initiative, where I lead advocacy, community development, policy engagement, and capacity-building programmes reaching more than 1,000 beneficiaries. I coordinate volunteers and partners around education access, child welfare, health, climate action, and digital literacy.
