At the core of my expertise lies a deep commitment to scaling revenue for early and mid-stage African SaaS and e-commerce companies. Learn more here
I take pride in building highly effective and well-aligned sales, operations, marketing, and customer success teams. Another vital aspect of my role is bridging the gap between African founders and the global investment community, connecting them to VCs and angel investors who can propel their visions forward.
My professional journey has been marked by impactful tenures at companies like uLesson Education, Miva Open University, SeamlessHR, Bento Africa, and Dealdey. Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of consulting for numerous African SaaS and e-commerce firms, contributing to their growth and success.
Beyond the corporate world, I am an avid cricket enthusiast. This passion takes me across Africa and around the globe, immersing myself in the game I love. This love for cricket isn’t just a hobby; it’s a mission. I’m the founder of an NGO, The Middle Stump, which uses cricket as a tool for social good in Nigeria and other African countries. Through this initiative, I strive to make a positive impact on the community, leveraging the sport’s universal appeal and values
And for those who know me, yes, I have a soft spot for sneakers! While some may label me a sneakerhead, I assure you, it’s all about the comfort and fit of those Nike shoes – 😜.
Join me on this journey as we explore the potential of technology in transforming businesses and communities across Africa.
