Bio

I am a passionate executor who thrives in transforming organizations, building departments from scratch and improving systems and processes to drive business growth. I enjoy working on truly transforming teams and individuals to realize their potential fully. I started my career at Deloitte as an auditor then joined Cellulant in 2012 to build the Group’s Finance Function where I led the finance team and built out the finance department as CFO. In this role, I consolidated the Group’s reporting framework and the Global and Country finance teams and oversaw the business through two critical growth rounds of fundraising; Series B and C. I transitioned roles from finance to lead operations in Nigeria as the COO. Today, I head the Growth team - Strategy and People Teams - at Cellulant as the Chief Growth Officer leading the team that drives organic and inorganic growth for the business. My work entails finding opportunities that drive operational excellence, building on our strategy and continued funding for the business. I place great value in mentorship for myself and for others and regularly give my time to mentor and share experiences with other professionals who are passionate about their career goals and individual growth. I love and value working closely with founders, CEOs and other executives to co-develop business and revenue models, prepare, review and make strategic choices and build organizations. I have a 3 legged analogy that best defines the skill sets I bring to the table based on my experience and interests; People & Partnerships - building organizations, career growth for individuals and the business; Process & Systems - effectively defining them, implementing, measuring and improving to drive growth and revenues; Data/Finance - I interpret my world in numbers and use that to grow business and make decisions
