Yeside Okelana

I am a PMP-certified Senior Project Manager with 5 years delivering large-scale digital transformation projects across government and enterprise in Nigeria.

At Soft Alliance, I have led 9 complex IT projects including the cloud migration of the Lagos State Central Billing System across 74 government agencies, the deployment of an ANPR-based traffic monitoring system in Delta State, and the ongoing rollout of a Revenue Assurance platform to 1,400+ federal MDAs — one of the largest public sector technology deployments in Nigeria. I also delivered a custom HRMS solution to 4 corporate clients, reducing HR processing time by 40%.

Previously at Rembrandt Global Solutions, I managed a portfolio of 5 digital products in the telecoms and ecommerce space within a remote-first, Agile environment, contributing to 2,500% product revenue growth through data-informed decisions and iterative delivery.

What distinguishes me from most project managers is a hands-on data analytics capability. I use data analytics to track programme KPIs, surface operational inefficiencies, and give senior stakeholders real-time visibility that accelerates decisions.

I hold the PMP, CAPM, and PSM I certifications alongside the McKinsey Forward Programme, Payment Product Management, and Product Analytics credentials. I am experienced in asynchronous collaboration, remote stakeholder management, and leading distributed teams across geographically dispersed organisations.

I am actively seeking senior remote Project Manager roles with global or internationally distributed teams.
