About
I'm a strategic executive who moves between the boardroom and the front line of community work, with a career built across philanthropy, governance, and organizational transformation.
My path started in commercial banking and management consulting in Nigeria, then moved into non-profit leadership: first as Executive Director of a science and sustainability charity on Vancouver Island, then through a series of director and executive roles in Edmonton's philanthropic sector. Along the way I picked up a taste for the unglamorous work that makes big missions possible, things like risk frameworks, evaluation systems, and board reporting, and a conviction that equity-focused work only lasts if the operations underneath it are solid.
Today, I sit on several boards across Edmonton's non-profit and municipal sectors, and I'm a Chartered Director. I hold an MBA and an M.Sc. in International Business, both with Distinction, and a combined honours B.Sc. in Microbiology and Biochemistry, a science background that still shapes how I think about evidence and evaluation.
