I take products from zero to live users — through sharp discovery, fast iteration, and a bias for what actually moves the metric. Founder of ConnectiHub, currently helping African graduates land their first remote gig.

Who I am

Product thinking meets
founder instinct.

I'm a Product Manager and solo founder based in Lagos, Nigeria. I built ConnectiHub end-to-end — ran 50+ user discovery interviews, validated two competing value propositions, shipped an MVP with no-code tools, and iterated on real feedback until the product earned 400+ site visitors and 5 early employer partners.

My background spans AI/ML workflow coordination, cross-functional operations, data labeling QA, and virtual operations for early-stage startups. I'm comfortable inside ambiguous problem spaces, writing clear specs, and making prioritization calls when data is incomplete.

I hold a B.A. in History and International Studies from Delta State University (2025), and I'm certified in AI for Product Managers, Microsoft AI Concepts, and Blockchain Technology. I'm open to associate and entry-level PM roles globally, with a strong preference for remote or remote-friendly teams.

Where I've been

Experience

Aug 2025 – Present
Founder & Product Manager
ConnectiHub — Lagos, Nigeria
  • Led full product discovery before writing a single spec: ran 50+ user interviews and WhatsApp research sessions, validated two value propositions, pivoted the core offering based on direct feedback.
  • Wrote user stories, groomed the backlog, and set OKRs tied to one north star metric — Nigerian talent completing a first paid remote gig. Deprioritized features that didn't move that metric.
  • Shipped MVP using no-code tools; drove 400+ site visitors and 60+ waitlist signups through organic Twitter, WhatsApp, and TikTok campaigns with zero paid spend. Secured 5 early partner commitments.
  • Built a structured waitlist pipeline (Google Forms + Sheets) to capture and segment user data; set up Google Analytics to track funnel drop-off and inform prioritization.
  • Developed pre-seed investor materials independently — market sizing, revenue model, pitch deck — targeting African-focused VCs including Microtraction and Ventures Platform.
Jun 2025 – Present
AI Training Project Coordinator
Mindrift / OpenTrain AI — Remote Contract
  • Coordinated 20+ contributors across 3 data labeling platforms simultaneously, achieving a 95%+ task completion rate through structured async workflows and clear accountability systems.
  • Evaluated AI-generated content for accuracy, tone, safety, and quality; authored contributor SOPs that cut onboarding time by 40% and reduced repeat questions from new hires.
  • Tracked KPIs across active workstreams, reported progress to stakeholders, and handled prompt engineering and content evaluation across multiple AI/ML projects.
Jan 2026 – Mar 2026
Operations Associate
Blossom VA Services — Remote
  • Managed delivery across 10+ concurrent startup client projects, acting as the coordination layer between founders and distributed remote teams through structured async communication.
  • Wrote onboarding documentation that cut ramp-up time for new team members, getting them productive in their first week instead of their second.
