Career Development Banking Ogun

I have circa 20years of experience in financial services sector which span across fixed income trading, treasury management, investment banking and private equity investing. I have been involved in a broad spectrum of financial and banking responsibilities, including mergers and acquisitions, finance, treasury management, project management, business turnaround and strategic planning. I have a first degree in Civil engineering from the Federal University of Technology Akure in Nigeria and an MBA from Warwick Business School in the UK. I started my banking career at Access Bank Plc, with an outstanding performance at the Access Bank School of Banking Excellence as the overall (all time) best graduating candidate. At Access, I worked in Banking Operations, Customer Services and later moved to Treasury, primarily as a fixed income trader. In 2011, I joined Heirs Holdings, an African proprietary investment company, where I handled fixed income trading and private equity investment. At Heirs, I was involved in a range of private equity investments across Africa in a range of selected sectors including financial services, oil and gas, agriculture, healthcare, real estate and hospitality. He also handled the impact investing portfolio of the Tony Elumelu Foundation through which capital was invested in businesses to enhance financial and social returns. I later joined the United Bank for Africa, as a Manager in charge of fixed income trading with primary focus on bond trading and fixed income related structures. In 2018, I joined VFD Group as the Group Treasurer and COO for two years before joining Abbey Mortgage bank Plc in 2020 as an Executive Director overseeing Treasury and Business Development.
