What I'm looking for

I am seeking a leadership role in business development or commercial growth where I can drive market expansion, build strategic partnerships, and scale revenue in emerging markets while mentoring high-performing teams.

I am a senior business development and commercial growth leader with over 15 years' experience driving market entry, partnerships, and go-to-market strategies across East and West Africa. I have held regional and market-facing roles with global organizations including Nestlé, Mars, Philips, Colgate Palmolive, and Versuni, and I founded and scaled an agribusiness.

My work combines commercial strategy, revenue pipeline development, and executional rigor: I have led distributor on-boarding, delivered double-digit revenue and market-share gains, rolled out localized product innovations, and used analytics to optimize spend and performance. At Hawi Crest I grew production capacity 35% and turned the enterprise to sustained positive quarterly revenue of $750k.

I am passionate about unlocking new revenue streams, building strategic partnerships, and mentoring cross-functional teams to exceed targets. I seek roles where I can apply market expansion expertise, commercial leadership, and data-driven decision-making to drive long-term growth in emerging markets.
