I build and lead teams from the ground up, in new markets and in established ones. In 15+ years of professional experience, including more than a decade in people leadership, I have done this across Africa, Asia and North America: Nigeria, Kenya and Tanzania, with some work in Ghana, Uganda and Egypt, plus India, the US and Mexico. I started as Branch International’s first people hire in Nigeria and became Chief People Officer, leading people strategy for a company of more than 400 people. I have set up people functions from the ground up, led restructurings and full market exits, and worked in a fintech regulated by central banks. I advise leaders on building and scaling a team, putting the systems around it in place, and managing performance and retention.
