Project Management and Non-profits Management
Staffordshire,UK

Summary

I have over 10 years of professional work experience in conceptualizing solutions, developing them into actionable projects, fully executing them, and closing out projects; all in Africa’s most populous nation, Nigeria. My work in non-profits, education, IT and consulting have built my capacity in leadership, management, and communications. I am versatile in managing people and have successfully worked with hundreds of external, and internal stakeholders across various projects. I can use a wide variety of tools and techniques at varying levels of competency. Hence, whether working remotely or onsite, I possess the working knowledge of relevant tools, and strategies that deliver business value in a timely fashion. I am eligible to work in the United Kingdom and would therefore like to explore role-based opportunities across various sectors including IT/Software development, real estate, retailing, and non-profits management. I am also open to exploring similar roles in other industries not listed.
