About
I am a marketing and sales expert with proven expertise in gaining efficiencies, growing company profitability, building breakthrough brands and mitigating against extreme operating environment.
I have been fortunate to have spend the last 9 years working and managing over 100 business across Consumer Goods, Education, and Technology where I garnered several notable achievements and acquired strong marketing, strategy, execution, commercial & people leadership skills while creating great value for the business.
My experience also cuts across various functions including category strategy, brand management, sales and commercialization, shopper insights, Revenue growth management, and data-driven marketing.
I am highly values-driven, a lifelong learner and a people’s leader that creates shared opportunity for all.

From Passion to Profit
Letsbuildnaija.wordpress.com
Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love… the clarity of hatred… and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we’d know some kind of peace… but we would be hollow… Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we’d be truly dead.
Stay focused, work hard, know your numbers, and be disciplined. If you do those things and take care of your people, the likelihood of being successful is very, very high.Don’t ask…Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love… the clarity of hatred… and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we’d know some kind of peace… but we would be hollow… Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we’d be truly dead.
Stay focused, work hard, know your numbers, and be disciplined. If you do those things and take care of your people, the likelihood of being successful is very, very high.Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.Then you will see your passion turn into profit.
