A self taught “Jane of Some Trades'', I enjoy being at the intersection of product management, marketing and growth. I want to build things that matter and add value to people’s lives.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve helped build, launch, scale, drive adoption and retention of products in the U.S and Africa across several business domains. I truly believe the journey to building great products begins after it’s shipped, plus that’s where all the fun is.

Reading, trying out new restaurants, wine, and lazy pool days are all things I love. Currently residing in Lagos, NG

BUILDER, MULTIPLE HAT WEARER, PROBLEM SOLVER, PRODUCT LEADER

Fiercely committed to seeing and supporting more women in tech, I volunteer as a mentor with the Google Women Techmakers program in Sub-Saharan Africa, an initiative to promote, support and build a community for women to thrive in technology. I am passionate about paying it forward and thus serve as a Google for Startups Accelerator Africa mentor, where I share my knowledge and expertise to help start-ups grow. I am a Founding Member of The Feminist Coalition, a group of young Nigerian feminists with a mission to champion equality for women in Nigerian society, with a core focus on education, financial freedom and representation in public office.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing tennis , trying out new restaurants and laughing at my own jokes.
