What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, innovation, and teamwork.

I am an enthusiastic IT personnel and educationist with a strong commitment to contributing to team success through hard work, attention to detail, and excellent organizational skills. My background in IT risk and compliance has equipped me with a clear understanding of programming, networking, and effective teaching and training methodologies. I am motivated to learn, grow, and excel in my career.

Currently, I work at Ecobank, where I manage disaster recovery strategies and conduct risk assessments of IT infrastructure. My role involves collaborating with business continuity teams to ensure that IT systems can be quickly restored in the event of disruptions. I have successfully led disaster recovery drills and simulations, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Previously, I served as a Service Executive at First Contact, where I gained familiarity with core banking systems and supported digital banking transformations. My experience includes using financial analytics tools to generate reports and assess risk, as well as providing guidance on digital payment solutions. I am passionate about leveraging technology to enhance customer experiences and drive team success.
