Pioneering projects has always been part of me since my professional career started over a decade ago. I was involved in innovative products and solutions as a Web Developer at Sidmach Technologies. My interest in the telecoms industry later made me accept an implementation consultant role at MTN Nigeria and I was part of the team that delivered the first global virtual top in Sub-Saharan Africa. The efforts earned my team 'IS Consistent Service Delivery' award in 2010. Clinching a role in the foremost entertainment and renowned Ultima Studios, (now Ultima Group) gave my career a creative twist and turn. At Ultima, I experienced rapid promotion, designed and delivered different multi-million dollar studio Infrastructure, deployed the very first indigenous Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? (Sony Pictures International Franchise) mobile game app on Facebook and Google Play store with 350k unique downloads and more than a million unique players in the first three months. The IT department was transformed under my supervision, rose through the ranks and became a member of the management team before resigning in 2016 to set up Koye-Kairos Multimedia Limited. Koye-Kairos is an IBM Silver Business partner among other OEMs, and a Product Development company. The growing list of clients include Bank of Agriculture, Blucredit Microfinance, Lagos Free Trade Zone, Tolaram Group/Lagos Free Trade Zone, Cashconnect Microfinance Bank and Avanage Group. My love for business automation piqued my interest in setting up Payloop Solutions to focus on enterprise resource planning and accounting solution for SMEs. My teaming up with friends to establish Vendease Africa, was also borne out of my knack for pioneering projects. Vendease, a market place for Hotels and Restaurants, recently signed a $3million term sheet with Grow Africa to finance smallholder farmers in Nigeria. I have volunteered with various interest groups and organisations, the most recent was at my Church National Office as the Chairman of the board of Foursquare TV, a Free-to-Air digital terrestrial television platform offering faith-based edutainment content in 80+ countries, and also serving as the Missions and Evangelism team lead of my local Christian community.
