From humble beginnings in Abeokuta, Nigeria, my journey has been one of resilience, ambition, and continuous growth. In January 2011, I relocated to the UK to further my education, and since then, I have proudly embraced my identity as a Nigerian-British professional.
My career in financial services began in October 2013 at MetLife Europe as a Sales Consultant, before moving to Owl Financial (Openwork Ltd) in November 2014 as a Protection Adviser. Through dedication and a passion for empowering clients, I progressed to Area Sales Manager in December 2018, and an Executive Sales Manager in in June 2020, leading a high-performing team. In December 2023, I joined Tavistock Protect (part of Tavistock Investments) where, as Area Sales Manager, I continue to lead and develop an award-winning team.
Beyond my professional life, I enjoy reading autobiographies, playing sports (table tennis and football in particular), and spending time with my family.
