Pulse Nigeria

Associate → Senior Content Producer → Production Manager

Pulse is where I learned to run a production. I started as an associate producer writing and directing for Pulse TV, moved up to senior content producer — creating original formats like Pick A Side and branded work for clients such as Samsung Mobile Nigeria — then ran production on the Loose Talk podcast. Planning crews, kit and deadlines every week was my first operations job, even if nobody called it that.

  • Original formats: Pick A Side, Pulse Tango
  • Produced & co-directed Samsung Galaxy Note 8 content
  • 52+ Loose Talk episodes, including its rebrand

NotJustOk

Head of Content

NotJustOk had the words but no video. As head of content I built the department from scratch — the people, the templates, the production workflow and the budget — and turned the site’s written formats into video series like NJO News, Listicles and Not Just Verses, alongside documentaries for its YouTube channel.

Bounce Networks

People & Team Ops Manager → Head of Operations

I joined Bounce to run people and team operations and was trusted to build the company’s operating and people infrastructure through a critical growth phase. I designed the full employee lifecycle — hiring, a 30-day onboarding programme, performance — audited internal processes for compliance gaps, and built the operations dashboard and quarterly business review that turned raw data into decisions for the CEO. In 2023 I also stepped in as interim product manager on the Bounce One app.

  • Quarterly business reviews for the CEO

Bookstars

Chief Operating Officer · contract

Bookstars needed its production and admin processes rebuilt while the work kept moving. I restructured them, automated the repetitive workflows and hired a cross-functional team of 20+ from scratch. Weekly and monthly KPI reports gave leadership a clear view of every department for the first time.

  • 20+ hires, team built from zero
  • KPIs across every department
  • Company-wide strategic plans with the C-suite

Dapper Group

Operations Consultant → Business Operations & People Manager

I came in as an operations consultant to give DVPPER Music a proper company, team and people structure, then joined full-time to run operations and people across the group — Dvpper Digital, Dapper Music & Entertainment, Dapper Live and Dapper Films. I set goals for each company, tightened the workflows between departments, built the in-house media-relations pipeline, and started “The Road to a Billion Streams” to mark a year of Seyi Vibez’s Billion Dollar Baby.

Visual Audio Times

Co-founder & COO

A podcast-first media company I co-founded with two partners. I wrote the mission, the policies and the onboarding for staff, podcasters and partners, ran day-to-day operations and talent, and built the production plan that launched our slate of shows within ten months. The company has since closed; the operating habits came with me.

  • Mission, policy and onboarding
  • Podcast slate launched in 10 months
  • Partnerships and expansion

RedTown Digital

Lead, Operations & Growth · Red Town Group

I led operations across Red Town Group — RT Creative, Motion Bay and WonderLabs — through a period of fast growth. I rewrote the SOPs for our core workflow to clear delivery bottlenecks, co-built a unit-economics financial model, and launched RTG Central, a Notion operating system holding every SOP, project and piece of company knowledge. Then I rebuilt people operations: a new appraisal system, our own HRIS and better employee welfare.

  • RTG Central: 10+ hours a week saved on finding information
  • In-house HRIS and appraisal redesign

WonderLabs

VP Operations · Wyza & Motion Bay

WonderLabs builds marketing and consumer-intelligence tools for high-growth teams. I run the operating structure behind them: reading operational health to find bottlenecks, then putting in the goal-tracking, milestone schedules and accountability frameworks that keep sales, production and platform engineering moving in step.
