My entrepreneurial spirit was ignited by years of comprehensive experience in finance, business analysis, and strategic operations within dynamic sectors like telecommunications and banking. These foundational roles honed my analytical acumen and instilled a deep understanding of business mechanics, from risk management at Guaranty Trust Bank Limited to driving sales and operational efficiencies at MTN and Rogers Communications.

Ultimately, this rich background fueled my desire to build and lead businesses from the ground up, to directly innovate, and to contribute to economic growth.

Today, I proudly serve as the President of Grey Matlock Bakery, where I oversee the strategic direction and daily operations of a company dedicated to delivering exceptional baked goods and memorable customer experiences. My focus here is on sustainable growth, product innovation, and fostering a collaborative environment.

Beyond my own ventures, I am deeply committed to mentorship. As a Business Mentor for the Black Entrepreneurship Alliance's Food Accelerator Program and York University's Food Accelerator Program, I have the privilege of guiding promising food entrepreneurs. I provide one-on-one mentorship, facilitate workshops, and connect them with vital resources, helping them refine their business models and achieve their growth ambitions

• Strategic Planning & Business Development: Crafting long-term visions and identifying growth opportunities.

• Operations & Innovation Management: Streamlining processes and fostering creative solutions.
