Chief Information Officer (CIO)
Y’ello!
As CIO, I am in charge of the company’s wide-strategy and back-end systems that align and improve all IT functions and support business objectives.
I hold an MBA in Project Management, an MBA in Management, and a bachelor’s degree in information systems. I’ve also completed executive education programmes at Harvard Business School, Lagos Business School, and IMD. A certified Project Management Professional (PMP), I’ve received recognition for leadership, innovation, and operational excellence.
With more than 27 years’ experience leading technology transformation and innovation within the banking and telecommunications industries, I’ve successfully led large-scale transformation programmes, managed systems serving millions of customers, and built high-performing teams of more than 300 professionals, consistently translating strategic vision into tangible results.
Prior to this appointment, I held the role of General Manager, Architecture & Engineering, leading the design and execution of our enterprise-wide agile transformation, playing a pivotal role in shaping our AI strategy, developing scalable digital platforms, and driving initiatives that have improved network performance, enhanced customer experiences, and increased operational efficiency.
For my team, the changing expectations of our customers and the need for constant innovation in IT processes means that we need to keep strengthening technology leadership, accelerating innovation, and deliver a truly exceptional experience for our customers – a challenge we welcome and face head-on.
