About

My path into product wasn't conventional.

I started my career as a lawyer before moving into technology through a software engineering internship. Working closely with engineers gave me a strong technical foundation — and showed me where I could add the most value: defining the problems worth solving, understanding users, and helping teams make better product decisions.

Today I'm a Senior Product Manager who has led or contributed to more than 12 live products. Outside of work, I give back by mentoring, speaking, and writing The Product Notebook — the kind of resources I wish I'd had starting out.

Highlights

  • Built products across fintech, edtech, and healthcare
  • Served users in Nigeria, the US, Canada, and other African markets
  • Led 0→1 launches, growth, and revenue initiatives
  • Mentor & speaker with She Code Africa, Product Dive, PM Help and Wetech
  • Author of The Product Notebook newsletter

How I work

01

Problem first

I start with the problem, not the solution — using research, data, and critical thinking to find root causes.

02

Validate, then scale

Experiments and data reduce uncertainty before we commit to building big.

03

Build together

Close work with design, engineering, data, and business leads to better trade-offs and stronger outcomes.
