About me: I am a qualified lawyer and solicitor with a bachelors degree from the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. Prior to joining LBS, I was a Consultant at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) in Lagos, Nigeria, working with private, public and social sector institutions across sub-Saharan Africa on strategy design, cost management, portfolio optimisation, people performance and achieving large-scale organisational transformations.
My decision to pursue an MBA at LBS was driven by its diverse community, rigorous academic environment and flexible curriculum. I have a passion for societal impact and driving trade and investments in the African continent. LBS offers an opportunity to interact with an exceptional cohort of outstanding individuals from across the world and develop the right skills to advance my career.
I am a recipient of a Laidlaw Foundation scholarship.
Beyond my professional consulting experience, I am a founding member of an education initiative, leading programmes relating to driving digital literacy programmes for under-served students in Nigeria. I hope to someday spearhead sustainable change in Nigeria’s public school education quality.
Beyond work and academics, I enjoy reading about failed startups, running, travelling and watching plays at the theatre.
Three topics I can be approached for: Management consulting; business in Africa; social impact.
