What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a global remote or hybrid role where I can partner with leaders to build operating systems, lead cross-functional execution, improve processes, and deliver measurable outcomes across complex, multi-country teams.

At HelpMum Africa, Dobic Health, and SmartMRS, I run operational structure and execution systems for healthcare programs serving 500,000+ caregivers. I connect the CEO, clinical, government, technology, and field teams to keep multi-unit strategy moving across operations, diagnostics, and AI-enabled health systems.

I've led distributed teams of 40+ staff and field officers and coordinated projects across the UK, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Mauritius. At GreyMoon Staffing, I supported operations across all 50 U.S. states, improving productivity by 25%, efficiency by 30%, and reducing time-to-hire by 30%.

I build practical SOPs, OKRs, dashboards, people systems, and workflow improvements that create accountability. My work has lifted on-time delivery from 30% to 70%, reduced project turnaround by 35%, and strengthened executive decision-making through clear reporting and cross-functional coordination.
