Senior Strategy Consultant in Lagos, Nigeria
Human Capital and Workforce Transformation professional, with experience supporting organisations through moments of growth and reinvention, particularly across oil & gas, financial services, professional services, and technology.
I have delivered and supported large‑scale human capital and HR transformation engagements for Tier‑1 organisations, advising executive and C‑suite leaders and working across programmes with ₦4.5bn+ budgets and workforces of 2,000–5,000+ employees.
In practice, my work centres the following:
Human Capital Strategy & Executive Advisory:
I translate strategy into people systems, designing workforce and talent strategies that support growth, productivity, governance, and resilience, delivering 15–25% productivity uplifts and clearer accountability across core and support functions.
Learning & Development Transformation (Oil & Gas & Capital‑Intensive Sectors):
I have led the end‑to‑end redesign of L& D strategies for Africa’s leading organisations, especially within oil & gas environments—supporting 30–40% improvements in learning utilisation, rationalisation of training spend, and defensible ROI metrics.
Talent Strategy, Senior Hiring & Workforce Growth:
I support strategic talent acquisition and senior‑level hiring; these efforts inform hiring decisions with direct impact on ₦500bn+ revenue pipelines, succession readiness, and long‑term institutional growth.
Leadership Development & Succession:
I design and deliver integrated leadership and talent programmes covering succession planning, performance management, high‑potential development, and internal mobility.
People Analytics:
I use people analytics and workforce diagnostics to bring clarity to decision-making. This includes scenario modelling, attrition analysis, and capability forecasting.
Change Management & Transformation Enablement:
I lead change initiatives across large, multi‑location organisations, covering stakeholder alignment, executive communications, training delivery, and readiness assessments to ensure new HR processes, operating models, and digital tools actually stick.
Culture, Inclusion & ESG Alignment:
I advise organisations on culture and inclusive leadership, supporting behavioural change programmes and DEI roadmaps aligned with ESG priorities, governance expectations, and long‑term performance.
HR Technology & Digital Enablement:
I support the selection and optimisation of HR technology platforms, aligning systems with business processes and measurable outcomes, driving significant efficiency gains through automation and improved data quality.
