More Information
Significant professional accomplishment: I’m an entrepreneur with over a decade of connecting people, brands and experiences through community building and partnerships for social impact. Nicknamed “the value architect,” I’ve sought opportunities that have allowed me to think creatively to design value propositions that are mutually beneficial to the organizations I serve.
I serve as executive director of Entrepreneurship for All-Maine, director of partnership of the Nimble Group and board member of the Third Place. I’m a co-founder and CEO of a lifestyle brand called Naija Made, which caters to Nigerian entrepreneurs, creatives and professionals in all industries and host events, curate digital content, provide small business advertising, and support social impact projects in Nigeria. I’ve worked with two Fortune 100 companies — Meta (Instagram and Facebook) and Toyota— to create marketing strategies for greater engagement in niche markets.
Audacious goal: Hitting $1 million in annual recurring revenue for Naija Made in 2025.
