As a product manager, I am a results-driven and customer-focused professional with a proven track record of delivering successful products. I have extensive experience in market research, product development, and project management, as well as a deep understanding of the product development process. My ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and to think strategically and creatively has helped me to consistently deliver products that meet or exceed customer needs and business goals. I am passionate about staying on top of industry trends and am always looking for new and innovative ways to improve products and drive growth.

I have experience as a Project Manager(Assistant) at Brixenmore, Nigeria; I managed and coordinated four teams and stakeholders to successfully implement real estate finance projects with new customers. I also took the initiative to develop tools and processes that helped streamline the project management process, which increased efficiency and productivity by 50%. I also communicated with senior management to ensure that projects were completed promptly and met the organization's needs every week. I worked as a Product Manager at Hotels.Ng and AIESEC, Liberia, where I contributed to the planning and strategy of the product, coordinated the development of a website, used market research and analysis to create a supply and demand plan, managed a team of 4 people & a department of 12 people, provided resources and support to help improve delivery efficiency and quality, and worked with the outside sales team to identify and follow up on business prospects which contributed to an increase in clients for the organization by 30%.
