■ Career achievements: Established and managed a new government parastatal. Initiated stakeholder, contractor and contract management meetings and streamlined project objectives and KPIs after identifying implementation lapses. Completed two moribund infrastructure projects worth US$69 million and attracted funds for three new projects worth US$144 million in a year. Delivered savings of €1.7 million in one year by negotiating contract prices with key suppliers while at Unilever Nigeria. Accelerated strategic partnerships with local manufacturers and farmers (suppliers) of raw materials, and led the selection and development of the suppliers, therefore localising 22% of imported raw materials used in production. Resulted in savings of €2.1 million. Developed an import process by working collaboratively with core stakeholders in the logistics chain to improve last mile logistics and truck turn-around-time by 33.6%. This resulted in a reduction in demurrage cost and business waste by €688,000 in its first year of full implementation.
