About

> I am a Product Manager who turns customer insight into revenue. With cross-continental experience across Africa and Asia, I’ve delivered enterprise and consumer fintech products that scale. At Carbon I launched and grew Carbon Circles — a digital ROSCA — from idea to market in under a year: >>> ₦1 billion paid out to 15K+ members, >>> 73% month-on-month growth, >>> 8.9% penetration of active users, >>> and ₦24.4M in monthly fees (235% above profitability goals). >> I ran rapid market research, coordinated engineering, design, legal and growth, and used staged, low-risk rollouts (prepayment filters, segment-first launches, progressive friction removal) to build trust and adoption. > My background in Biochemistry and medical research (NIMR) trained me to ask rigorous questions and treat product work like experiments — hypothesis, measurement, iterate. > I complement product strategy with hands-on product operations: CRM, payments workflows, API debugging, and field rollout coordination. > I enjoy building scrappy MVPs that move metrics and I would definitely as a technical co-founder in a space where we can solve real problems and scale economically.
