About Me
Once upon a time, I was a copy/content writer crafting compelling content as well as sales materials. But the more time I spent promoting these products, I realized my true calling lay in enhancing the customer experience from the source which is the product.
I began to ask myself, "Why not build products that genuinely resonate with users?"
In 2021, I embarked on an ambitious journey to disrupt the geolocation industry with an app idea. While that particular venture didn’t pan out, it sparked a newfound passion for Product Management.
I dove headfirst into user stories, market research, and agile methodologies. By early 2022, I officially transitioned into PM, even leading a team in the Google Solutions Challenge shortly thereafter.
Currently, I serve as a Product Manager at RAD5 Tech Hub, where I've recently been promoted to Co-Lead of RAD5 Ventures. In this role, I work with cross-functional Scrum teams to develop tech-enabled solutions for enterprises and individuals. My responsibilities encompass engaging with clients to understand their challenges, conducting research and brainstorming sessions to identify effective solutions, and documenting product requirements. I manage the product backlog, prioritize features, and run agile sprints as both Product Owner and Scrum Master, ensuring smooth collaboration among team members.
A core part of my job is to represent the customer's voice within RAD5, advocating for their best interests throughout the development process. As Co-Lead of RAD5 Ventures, I guide our venture studio in building and maintaining digital solutions for MSMEs in South-eastern Nigeria, providing strategic guidance, hypothesis validation, testing protocols, and training for our venture teams.
My journey has been filled with hands-on experiences across various projects—both voluntary and paid—that have sharpened my skills in product strategy, stakeholder management, and data-driven decision-making.
I hold a diploma in Product Management from AltSchool, one of Africa's premier tech institutions. My experiences have equipped me with the tools to navigate the complexities of PM life: documentation, effective communication, user-centric design, and agile project execution.
If you're looking for a PM who combines clear communication with collaborative spirit and treats every product like their own baby, we’ll be a great fit!
Oh, and on the side, I'm also a published fiction author (check out my new book, "The Smell of Dead Bodies"). I think that creative spark makes me an even better PM!

Case studies
Okay, I'll admit, I haven't shipped a ton of products yet. But check out these case studies – they'll show you how my brain ticks. Deep dives into user problems, strategy stuff, and maybe a few 'why didn't they just...?' moments.
My PM Philosophy
I believe the best products put users front and center, not roadmaps. Yeah, frameworks and data are awesome, but sometimes you have to trust your gut, pivot with the people, and find that solution that makes them go "damn, this is exactly what I need!" That means ruthless focus on the user experience, but also being open to those unexpected, game-changing ideas. It's about building with real people in mind, not just abstract metrics. And honestly, none of this works unless your team feels valued. We're all in this crazy product-building journey together. Open communication, recognizing good work – I believe that's just as important as any product launch.
