What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can apply risk management, quality assurance, and data-driven operations to improve safety, compliance, and efficiency while mentoring teams and driving measurable outcomes.

I am a dedicated risk, quality and operations manager with extensive experience in pharmaceutical, construction and oil & gas sectors, delivering measurable improvements in safety and operational performance.

I have led cross-functional teams to implement risk assessment frameworks and safety regulations that significantly reduced critical incidents and audit observations, including a 79% reduction in critical risks over three years.

My background includes data-driven decision-making, process optimization and project management—implementing KPIs and dashboards that improved efficiency and cut response times by up to 50%.

I hold advanced training in HSE, Aspen HYSYS, MATLAB and oil & gas fundamentals, and I am a registered engineer and member of professional engineering bodies in Nigeria, committed to continuous improvement and compliance.
