High-achieving Chief Executive Officer with proven skills in strategic planning and solution management. Focused on achieving sustainable growth in dynamic market conditions through exceptional leadership and relationship-building strengths. Looking for new professional challenges in any Industry.
I started out as an Artist manager, building the career of 2 successful Afrobeats artists at the genre's early stage from 2006 to 2011. I got my first stint in technology in 2011 when I took the position of Commercial manager at the first digital distribution company for movies and music in Nigeria (Hibuzz).
Since 2015, I have pioneered the first e-ticketing company (Nairabox) for Cinemas and music concerts in Nigeria. Currently the number one ticketing platform for major concerts in Nigeria with over 6million tickets sold to date and about to be launched in the UK. In 2017, I launched the 1st telemedicine company in Nigeria, Tremendoc. In 2020 alone, Tremendoc was responsible for over 250,000 remote medical consultations using its mobile application with over 80% of the patients not needing to visit a physical hospital. This is why I was approached by the Department of International Trade, UK through the Global Entrepreneurship Program to set up my company HQ in the UK.
I believe in brand partnerships as a strong revenue generator and brand visibility tool. Which is why partnerships has been a major part of my strategy for both companies, with major partnerships like Mastercard, Visa, Flutterwave, Paystack, Moniepoint, Axa-Mansard, Lagos state government, Google , Nokia, 13 commercial banks initiated and closed under my directive and supervision between the two companies.
I have a never quitting mindset with a thirst to learn from mentors, industry colleagues and my team mates. I am self driven, passionate in whatever industry I find myself and also an expert negotiator.
