From Innovation to Market: Closing the Gap
About
The work is in the
gap between strategy
and execution.
Lagos, Nigeria · Available for consulting,
advisory, and speaking engagements
My work lives at the intersection of consulting, project management, and national development. I am a consultant, project manager, and patented inventor who has spent years building at the place where ideas become infrastructure — where research becomes policy, and where a well-managed project can change the trajectory of an enterprise or an entire sector.
I serve as a Consultant to the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) on innovation and startup support, and sit on its Advisory Board — working to strengthen the ecosystem that connects emerging businesses to capital, markets, and institutional backing. I also serve as Technical Assistant to the Research Innovation Commercialisation Committee (RICC), whose mandate is to forge a coordinated national policy and framework that translates Nigeria's research and innovation outputs into market-ready products and services.
My technical roots run deep. I have worked on the deployment and maintenance of telecommunication infrastructure across Nigeria — contributing to the physical backbone that connects communities, businesses, and institutions. This dual grounding in hands-on engineering and high-level strategy is rare, and it shapes everything I do.
Good ideas are common. Execution is rare. Strategy is only valuable when it leads to action.
