Message

At Youth Plus Africa, I manage the CEO’s diary across multiple time zones and coordinate meetings from agendas through minutes and follow-up. I also arrange local and international travel and prepare briefing notes and meeting packs for board, partner, donor and stakeholder meetings.

At Velex Advisory Limited, I run day-to-day office operations, including procurement, facilities, vendor relations and inventory. I support finance administration, maintain compliance records, and coordinate HR tasks such as onboarding and payroll inputs. Earlier, I coordinated logistics for annual Gaming Tech Summit Africa conferences serving 500+ participants.
