What Have I Achieved In My Career?
As a growth-driven tech professional, I am committed to substantially impacting every organisation I work with. Since beginning my career three years ago, I have achieved a range of milestones that have contributed to my brand and increased revenue for the companies I have worked with. Here are a few achievements:
Digital Marketing Qualifications
In September 2024, I began a Master's programme in Digital Marketing at the University of Northampton, United Kingdom.
​
I hold a Digital Marketing certification from the Digital Marketing Institute, where I also happen to be a member of the accredited body. ​
The digital technology sector is rapidly evolving, with numerous emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), and many others.
According to a Mintel (2024) study, 72% of people now have some level of knowledge about Artificial Intelligence, compared to 2023. This indicates that the adoption of AI is accelerating, and we can expect to see even more use cases in the future.​
As a Partnerships Manager and Marketing professional, I am leveraging these digital technologies to engage more effectively with customers and deliver personalised experiences tailored to their needs.
Raenest's $11 Million Series A Funding and 700,000 Customer Milestone
I joined Raenest as the Community and Partnerships Manager in September 2024. Making it my first role as a Partnerships Manager.
​
Raenest is a cross-border financial technology company, empowering African businesses and professionals to make global transactions easily.
Since joining Raenest, the company has experienced significant growth in both revenue and overall marketing operations. 3 months later, we reached the milestone of 700,000 customers. I played a major role in this achievement by leveraging my expertise in community and influencer partnerships to acquire new customers and boost the brand's awareness.
​
After 5 months of leading community and partnership operations, we secured $11 million in Series A funding, led by QED Investors. Our commitment to fostering a vibrant community and building a strong partner network was a key success factor in achieving this.
Kuda Bank’s 7 million Customer Milestone
I grew and led the community efforts at Kuda Bank between November 2023 and October 2024.
​
When I joined the company, they struggled to maintain a positive brand reputation in the community. Solving this problem was one of my major KPIs and a primary objective during my time at Kuda.
After just 2 months at Kuda, the company surpassed the 7,000,000 customer mark. My contribution to this milestone tied back to restructuring the company’s community strategy and introducing new execution tactics. One key initiative I executed was collaborating with community members to generate earned media, which significantly promoted the brand through user-generated content.
​
5 months later, following a 7-hour Instagram Live session in partnership with the customer support team that was designed to engage the community and rebuild trust, Kuda was listed among the top 250 FinTech platforms in the world. This community initiative attracted over 20,000 live and post-event listeners, successfully achieving the company’s objectives for the campaign.​​
Global Speaker And Top Event Organiser
In February 2025, I was invited to speak on a panel at the Africa Tech Summit in Nairobi, Kenya.
​
The panel session focused on the role of cross-border payments in scaling Africa’s diverse markets. It brought together over 2,000 founders, investors, and techies.
On the panel, I was joined by top representatives from Amazon Web Services, Paystack, Fincra, and Raenest. This 2-day event enhanced my global speaking experience, enabling me to connect with new tech leaders and generate more leads for my affiliated brands.
​
While in Nairobi, I also collaborated with the team at Norrsken22 to plan and organise an exclusive mixer that brought together over 400 founders and investors for a night of networking. This event demonstrated my expertise in hosting and attracting high-profile individuals.
Executed Over 100 Collaborations With Nano, Micro, and Macro Influencers
I have had various kinds of marketing campaigns that involved me collaborating with a cumulative 100+ affiliates and influencers to fulfil campaign goals.
​
Some of these campaigns were for Binance, Kuda Bank, and Raenest, which needed influencers with the same audiences.
Leveraging influencers for brand collaborations has been on the rise in recent years. According to the Digital Marketing Institute (2025), 69% of customers trust influencer collaborations when making purchase decisions.
​
One of my most notable influencer collaborations was a campaign I led for Raenest to increase their USD Virtual Card usage on their Geegpay product. During this campaign, I managed the entire process from sourcing over 50 influencers and handling payments to collecting and analysing campaign performance data. My expertise in digital marketing enabled me to provide the influencers with the right materials to ensure the campaign’s success. By the end of the campaign, we achieved a 35% increase in USD card usage compared to the previous month.
​

Raenest Mentorship Community Initiative and Award for Creativity Mastermind
6 months after joining Raenest, I launched an initiative called the Raenest Mentorship Programme., the first of its kind for the company.
​
The aim of this initiative was to give back to our community and society by providing access to a network of top-rated mentors for career guidance.
Raenest Mentorship Programme brought together over 1,000 professionals seeking to start, scale, or expand their knowledge in their respective careers. We were privileged to have mentors such as Peace Itimi, Founder of Founders Connect; Damilola Olokesusi, Founder & CEO of Shuttlers; Khadijah Abu, Head of Product Expansion at Paystack; Blessing Abeng, Branding & Communications Expert; and many others.
​
My key responsibilities included creating the initiative, liaising with both mentees and mentors, scheduling mentorship sessions, and overseeing the entire process to ensure everything ran smoothly.
​
I was also honoured with a Creativity Mastermind award within my first six months at Raenest.
