A budding Business Sustainability professional with a solid research background, and industry experience in brand management. I have worked with teams from both West Africa (Nigeria), East Africa (Kenya) and Spain.
With a strong passion for how the Agri-food system works, I took a leap to get a masters in Agri-food from the University of Cádiz, Spain, with Spanish as my language of instruction.
I specialized in Production, Quality and Food Safety, a largely untapped sector in my home country, Nigeria.
I am open to opportunities in Research and development, engagements with International/Government/ Non-governmental organizations and the private sectors, while maintaining my interest in business sustainability.
