Career
Professional Experience
Seven years in African capital markets before Kellogg. Now at Nike.
Nike Inc
CurrentLead, Global Business Planning, In-Year Portfolio Management
Beaverton, OR · 2026 to Present
Global Business Planning is the CFO's function — responsible for maintaining one view of Nike's financials across all sports, brands, and geographies, and making sure that picture is accurate, timely, and in the right hands. On the in-year team: tracking the current fiscal year, understanding what's moving and why, and building the reporting infrastructure the rest of the business relies on.
Daba Markets Inc
Senior Investment Associate
Remote / Miami, FL · 2022 to 2024
Came in as the first investment hire and built the investment infrastructure for a platform widening access to African capital markets. Structured the products, defined the processes, and ran the analysis that got retail investors into the Orange CI IPO — one of Africa's largest telecom listings — for the first time. Also advised on capital raises for startups across the continent, helping founders build investment cases that hold up.
Constant Capital Partners
Investment Banking Analyst to Associate
Lagos, Nigeria · 2020 to 2021
Promoted from analyst to associate ahead of the typical window. Worked on transactions across Nigeria and Ghana — the acquisition and recapitalization of a microfinance bank, a first-of-its-kind commodity-linked bond program. Built models and investor materials for M&A and capital-raising mandates across fintech, telecoms, and financial services.
Rosabon Financial Services
Financial Product Analyst
Lagos, Nigeria · 2017 to 2019
Used consumer data and portfolio analytics to launch new lending and investment products that contributed to 30%+ annual revenue growth. Expanded access for underserved SMEs while refining existing products against how customers actually borrowed and invested. Close to both the customers and the cash flows from the start.
Other Projects
Creator Deck
Strategy Fellow (ASCEND Fellowship)
Remote · 2024 to 2025
Worked with Creator Deck on brand and growth strategy through the ASCEND Fellowship. Mapped industry and cultural trends, analyzed the competitive landscape, and built out a positioning refresh — clarifying what the company does and how it differentiates in a crowded market.
