Program Management, End to End Project Lifecycle & Go to Market Launches
At Ardova PLC, one of Nigeria’s largest downstream oil & gas companies, I led multiple enterprise-wide infrastructure and process optimization programs valued at over $30M. The business was undergoing a critical transformation period, from consolidating acquisitions (with Enyo Retail), upgrading assets, to modernizing operations to improve efficiency and regulatory compliance.
