Nkiru O.

I am a commercial manager with over 10 years experience in Payments, Technology, Law and the Public Sector. Over the years, I have worked with organizations dedicated to solving some of the most pressing challenges in payments and technology across the Emerging markets (EMEA) and North America, engaging C-level executives and stakeholders across the various levels of organizations. As a skilled negotiator, I brokered numerous agreements, including global IT, payments services transactions with some of the most respected global vendors including Booking.com, Facebook, Truecaller, Shoprite, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Union Pay, Samsung etc which have produced win-win outcomes in negotiations. I am an effective consensus builder and a diligent broker enjoying the trust and confidence of vendors, clients and other stakeholders. My values are hinged around service to humanity and I am passionate about the teenage child by focusing on maximizing their true potentials to become leaders in every aspect of their lives. In 2016, I co-founded the Big Sister Initiative, a platform that guides the teen in their journey to self-actualization. Occasionally, I write as a political columnist for Thisday Newspapers raising public discourse by extensively analyzing policies across the various levels of government.
