About

I am an energy engineer with 10 years of techno-commercial experience cutting across Technical sales, Energy systems design, Technical risk management and Commercial execution of renewable energy projects. I advise on technically feasible solutions for utility‑scale energy projects across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa — supporting manufacturers, EPCs, IPPs, financiers, and advisors from RFQ through to contract signature. Over the last 10 years, I routinely operate as a technical decision gatekeeper, aligning product compliance, legal language, and quality delivery of energy projects through : - Negotiating supply contracts for GW's of utility scale PV projects and - Consulting on turnkey PV + BESS projects, effectively managing the project and project teams to COD. My strength lies in my innate ability to blend my techno-commercial expertise with communication finesse to help businesses deliver profitable energy solutions.I hold a Masters degree in Renewable Energy and a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering. I am a registered Engineer with the Council for Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), a member of the Women in Solar Europe (WiSEU) and a corporate member of the Nigerian Society of engineers (MNSE).Outside my 9-5, I am an advocate for increasing access to education in developing countries and I currently serve in a non-profit capacity as the Director of Scholarships @The Bridge Scholarship.
