    • Founder
      Jun 2020 - Sep 2025 · 5 yrs 4 mos

      In 2020, I founded Talku Talku. It was originally launched as a platform to amplify the voices and stories of creatives, especially in Nigeria. Over time, it evolved into a thriving collective. With each chapter of our journey, one thing became increasingly clear: the digital gap facing early-stage brands. Every time we encountered it, we knew we could help bridge it, especially for those focused on revenue efficiency and sustainable growth. In 2025, I took the bold step of leaving my corporate function leadership role to follow that calling, which is to help ambitious brands leverage digitalization to drive revenue efficiency and growth. All of that, powered by creative intelligence.
