Building Products
that Scale.

I turn complex technical requirements into products people love — from enterprise integrations processing 80M+ transactions to mentoring the next generation of PMs across Africa.

Bridging strategy
and execution

I'm a Senior Product Manager with over 5 years of experience building and scaling products across fintech, eCommerce, SaaS, and enterprise software. I thrive at the intersection of technical complexity and user-centred design — translating messy problems into clean product decisions.

Currently at Unifonic (Remote, Dubai), I manage a portfolio of 5 core products including an Integrations middleware and Journey Orchestrator, leading cross-functional squads in sprint cycles across multiple timezones. I scaled regional SMS/WhatsApp integrations to process 80M+ annual transactions and grew Journey Orchestrator ARR from $10K to $250K in just 12 months.

Beyond the day job, I'm deeply invested in building the next generation of product managers across Africa — through structured mentorship, cohort-based training, and community work with organisations like Product Hub Africa, Tech4Dev, and Catalyst Mentorship.
