A dedicated and result-oriented experience in sales, business development, operations, and account management With nine years of experience, I am confident in my ability to contribute to the growth and success of any organization.
As a founding member at Errandlr where I have been instrumental in facilitating last-mile package deliveries in Africa, starting with Lagos. Through the use of technology and customer-centric operations, we have successfully provided efficient and reliable delivery services. As part of my role, I have contributed to the growth and strategy formulation for one of Nigeria's fastest-growing and innovative delivery platforms. I designed and executed a strategic partnership initiative, resulting in a 200% increase in rider partnerships within a span of 12 months. Additionally, I spearheaded strategic partnerships with 150 businesses, ranging from SMEs to large-scale enterprises across Nigeria, resulting in increased product sales by 35% and improved margins by 12%.
I built a Business Development and Operations team at Rugs&Floors Africa, where I demonstrated strong leadership in market analysis and technical information system optimizations. I successfully leveraged data processing infrastructure technologies to drive competitor data infrastructure strategy and growth. Through effective situation management and escalation, I ensured the resolution of challenges for my team and the organization. By reviewing metrics and providing actionable recommendations, I played a pivotal role in reducing spending and increasing profitability, resulting in revenue growth of ยฃ750,000 within 24 months. I excelled in B2B development, strategy formulation, research, and client acquisition for consumer companies across Lagos, Ghana, and Rwanda.
A proficient human empowerment advocate, who is committed to building and fostering a community of proficient and business-inclined SMEs, women, and children.
