Co-Founder The Product Cradle| Ex- Product Manager MTN| Product Management, Strategy, Fintech & Marketing|

I was a product manager at MTN Nigeria, one of Africa's largest telecom and tech companies. 
With over 15 years in the industry, I've had the privilege of leading teams to create and launch products that truly solve customer problems while driving business growth.

I hold a postgraduate diploma in professional marketing from CIM, the world's leading professional marketing body, and I've got multiple certifications in digital marketing tools and services.

As a product leader and community builder, I'm all about innovation and putting customers first. I’m passionate about supporting aspiring, transitioning, and experienced product managers in developing their careers and growing within the PM community. 

Through writing challenges, accountability groups, and mentoring sessions, I’ve helped over 100+ product managers develop their skills, showcase their expertise, and reach their goals.

I also bring my fintech and marketing experience to the table, offering insights on product strategy, marketing, partnerships, and promotions.

Great product managers do more than tell a story.
They build a shared belief.


Look at Apple. 
Their keynotes aren't about specs.
They're about a vision of the future. 


That's the power of a story that resonates.
It’s not about manipulation. 
It’s about creating meaning.


When you can get people to see what you see, that's true leadership.
It reminds me of Simon Sinek's great line: 
“People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.”


When that belief is shared, everything else falls into place.


P.S. Does your team truly believe in your product's "why"?
