A Product leader with over 15 years in the industry, I've had the privilege of leading teams to create and launch products that truly solve customer problems while driving business growth. I was a product manager at MTN Nigeria, one of Africa's largest telecom and tech companies. 

I hold a postgraduate diploma in professional marketing from CIM, the world's leading professional marketing body, and I've got multiple certifications in digital marketing tools and services.

As a community builder, I’m passionate about supporting aspiring, transitioning, and experienced product managers in developing their careers and growing within the PM community. 

Through writing challenges, accountability groups, and mentoring sessions, I’ve helped over 100+ product managers develop their skills, showcase their expertise, and reach their goals.
