I am an agile project manager with extensive experience in project management, key account management, cross-functional team leadership, and relationship building in the digital tech space.

Believing that every role presents an opportunity for growth, I have successfully transitioned across diverse positions, consistently delivering results and driving impact.

I previously held multiple roles at The Creative Brands Group, where I played a key role in managing teams and executing high-impact projects. As a Senior Business Project Manager, I led cross-functional teams of 20+ professionals—including engineers, developers, marketers, and creatives—to oversee projects from conception to delivery. I successfully drove initiatives in real estate, fintech, media, e-commerce, and retail, ensuring seamless execution and alignment with client and stakeholder expectations.

In 2022, I took on the role of Customer Specialist at Waya, a fintech company providing digital payments and cross-border transfers in the USA. My contributions significantly improved customer ratings and reinforced my expertise in communication and problem-solving to drive positive outcomes.

In August 2024, I transitioned to Africa Fintech Summit (AFTS) as a Project Manager, where I led the execution of key initiatives in the fintech ecosystem. Currently, as Chief of Staff, I provide strategic oversight and operational leadership, ensuring seamless execution of projects, partnerships, and cross-functional collaboration. A key highlight of my role has been planning the 13th Africa Fintech Summit, set to take place in April 2025 in Washington, D.C., and in Accra Ghana bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to shape the future of fintech in Africa. Additionally, I am leading preparations for the main Africa Fintech Summit, scheduled for October 8-10, 2025, in Accra, Ghana.

I am proficient in tools such as Asana, Jira, HubSpot, and WordPress CMS, leveraging them to streamline workflows and enhance efficiency.

I thrive in dynamic, high-growth environments and remain motivated to take on new challenges that drive innovation and business success.
