The Mission
"My mission is to help you find the clarity you need to build million-dollar businesses"
I believe that entrepreneurs are the backbone of any economy and should be given all the necessary support they require to succeed.
I am currently the VP, Fund Operations at Ingressive Capital, a venture capital firm focused on funding the next generation of African innovators across Sub-saharan Africa.
Prior to this, I was part of the founding team of the largest Pan-African Entrepreneurship Programme, a $100 million initiative – The Tony Elumelu Foundation, which I led as Programme Manager for 5 years and surpassed the 10-year goal of training, mentoring and funding 10,000 entrepreneurs from across Africa
I am now focused on building entrepreneurship ecosystems that empower entrepreneurs to be the best they can be
Here's how I can help you
If you are like most people, you probably are seeking clarity and a direction for your business/career. After my session you’ll get laser focused and clear on what you want and map out action steps that will get you the results you have always wanted.
I have run businesses, failed at businesses and advised entrepreneurs from across the African continent who went on to run successful businesses.
As a small business expert, I can help in the areas of:
- Marketing and Sales
- Leadership and Management
- Money management and cash flow
- Customer Experience
- Productivity
With the experience I have garnered over the years in the business and corporate world, I share on how entrepreneurs can be successful and limit the impact of any failures.
Nobody becomes extremely successful without learning the ropes first. I craft, design and organise training and impactful workshops for organisations, institutions and programmes depending on my schedule.
