What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own country growth, partnerships, and operational execution in fintech/payments—driving enterprise acquisition, pipeline conversion, and measurable revenue outcomes across African markets.

I’m a Country Growth, Partnerships & Operations leader with 5+ years of experience driving market expansion and commercial execution across fintech, payments, payroll, remittances, and financial infrastructure businesses in Ghana and African markets.

I’ve launched and scaled go-to-market initiatives—acquiring enterprise clients, building partnerships with banks and ecosystem stakeholders, and translating strategy into measurable revenue outcomes. I also represent international fintech companies in local markets, aligning cross-functional stakeholders while navigating operational challenges and regulatory engagement.

In partnerships roles, I’ve built distribution and customer acquisition channels at scale—working with over 20 banks and 50 microfinance institutions to expand BNPL distribution. I contributed to revenue growth from GHS 23.2 million to approximately GHS 40 million through strategic partnerships and institutional client acquisition.

I’m equally strong in pipeline-to-deal execution and market intelligence. I led enterprise pipeline acceleration that drove a 75% increase in qualified opportunities, and in 2023 helped deliver tier 1 enterprise clients, contributing to ~1100% growth in total payroll processing volume and USD 1 million ARR. As a founder, I combine GTM ownership with hands-on operational delivery to unblock launch and scaling.
