With 17 years of experience in the retail sector, I was a vital member of the Senior team at Shoprite, ( Africa’s leading supermarket chain) Nigeria division that spearheaded the development of the formal retail industry in Nigeria. Beginning as a trainee manager, I ascended to the role of Executive Director within the Shoprite Group, Nigeria division. My focus in Human Resources management as the country HR leader involved cultivating a motivated and ethical team through recruitment, development, and retention strategies. I have nurtured numerous retail leaders who have excelled in their roles, establishing a reputation for developing local talent to manage world-class supermarkets in a skill-deficient environment. Leading transformative cross-functional projects, I significantly contributed to cost savings and the resolution of longstanding organizational challenges. A pivotal member of the Nigeria leadership team, I played a key role in expanding the company from one store to 24 outlets and establishing a state-of-the-art distribution center. Recently transitioning to the renewable energy sector, I now serve as the Country Head of HR at Engie Energy Access, bringing my wealth of experience to drive impactful change in a new industry landscape.
