About the long story, short

3+ years building customer retention, managing key accounts, and driving outbound revenue.

I don't just manage clients; I protect your revenue and turn buyers into brand advocates. With an active background spanning outbound sales and proactive account management, I understand how to bridge the gap between initial acquisition and long-term customer lifetime value.

From mapping out seamless onboarding playbooks to executing data-driven business reviews, my focus is entirely on retention, health scoring, and reducing churn before it even starts. Whether it's managing complex customer journeys or stepping onto a cold call to expand an account, I ensure every client stays because they cannot imagine operating without us.

Fluent in Gainsight, HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, and GoHighLevel. Ready to scale your support operations.

Featured Project

The Ogbodo Success Hub — Customer Success decision support system

Built after noticing that most CSMs and reps make retention and risk calls on instinct, with no consistent way to check that instinct against anything. The Ogbodo Method turns that judgment call into a repeatable system: it scores every account the same way, challenges the first read with confidence-scored alternative hypotheses instead of letting one instinct stand unchallenged, then outputs a prioritized action plan with an owner attached to each step. The goal was never software for its own sake, it was making good account judgment transferable across a team instead of living in one person's head.

Healthcare SaaS · Adoption Recovery
41% → 79%
Platform adoption recovered across 12 healthcare centers in under 4 months
Meridian Care Network
Healthcare
Challenge

Six months to renewal, adoption was stalled at 41%. Several locations had never completed initial onboarding. Implementation fatigue and inconsistent training created operational gaps; training had focused on buttons, not clinical outcomes. Leadership openly questioned platform ROI.

Strategy

A four-phase recovery: CONTAIN RISK → RESTORE TRUST → PROVE VALUE → EXPAND. Executive stakeholder alignment, role-based onboarding recovery, monthly Executive Alignment Reviews (EARs), workflow optimisation, and a redesigned success-metric dashboard.

Execution

Ran executive stakeholder alignment workshops to reset the ROI narrative.

Results

41% → 79% Platform adoption · +93% Utilization vs. baseline (<4 mo) · +34% Patient follow-up · −21% Admin workload

Lesson

"By combining executive management with workflow-focused adoption work, a high-risk account became a retained customer with expansion potential."

Logistics · Multi-Site ERP Adoption
14
Depots brought onto a single standardized operational workflow
NorthStar Freight Alliance
Logistics
Challenge

Three compounding problems: change resistance from prior ERP failures had created zero trust in new digital initiatives; 14 depots relied on isolated, fragmented reporting and tracking; and leadership had no real-time performance data to drive decision-making — a complete visibility blackout.

Strategy

Treat the rollout as an organisational adoption problem, not a software problem. Sequence the work around executive confidence first, standardisation second, and a single source-of-truth reporting cadence third.

Execution

Standardised workflows across all 14 depot locations.

Results

14 Depots aligned to one workflow · 100% Executive reporting compliance · Retained High-risk account secured · Identified Expansion opportunities mapped

Lesson

"NorthStar Freight Alliance needed more than software — they needed organisational adoption and executive confidence."

RevOps · HubSpot CRM Recovery
41% → <5%
CRM data duplication eliminated; pipeline integrity restored across the HubSpot instance
VantagePro Solutions
RevOps / CRM
Challenge

An active subscriber base masked a critical disconnect: high functional logins versus zero reliable revenue data. 41% data duplication, 34 stale untracked projects, inconsistent localized behaviours, and a high contract risk state with a renewal looming.

Strategy

A 30/60/90 recovery blueprint. Day 30: baseline fix — basic tracking automated, redundancy <10%, core pipelines built. Day 60: traction — redundancy <5%, 70% of teams trained, dashboards live. Day 90: monetisation — full compliance, no stale pipelines over 45 days, contract renewal finalised.

Execution

Cleaned data: cut duplication from 41% → <5% and closed 34 stale untracked projects.

Results

Health 70 Operational health score · NPS 72 CSAT/NPS bounce-back · −70% Stale pipeline bottlenecks · 3× Open rates via segmentation

Lesson

"Software was never the bottleneck. Friction emerged from process mapping and data accountability — Customer Success unlocked the commercial value of the technology."

B2B Marketplace · UX & Onboarding Transformation
↑ Activation
Persona-led onboarding designed to drop friction and lift trust before the first transaction
B2B Marketplace Platform
B2B Marketplace
Challenge

Hidden value: platform value not visible before registration. Trust silence: critical trust signals hidden behind barriers. Generic flows: one-size-fits-all onboarding serving no one. Complexity: jargon and complex terminology driving abandonment between registration and activation.

Strategy

Move from generic onboarding to persona-based journeys. Replace hidden trust mechanisms with a visible verification system. Replace complex forms with guided workflows. Replace 'no activation plan' with explicit success milestones for every persona.

Execution

Mapped end-to-end journeys for four personas: Startup Seller, Manufacturer, Export Agent, Distributor.

Results

↑ Activation · ↑ Trust · ↓ Drop-off · ↑ Retention

Lesson

"In a marketplace, trust isn't a UX nicety — it's the activation gate. Earn it before you ask for the transaction."

₦180M
Growth facility structured to defend a 5-year relationship and unlock export expansion
NorthBridge Capital × Blackwood Agricultural Exports
Banking / Account Management
Challenge

Operational payroll failures had eroded trust in a 5-year relationship. Competitors were circling with cheaper financing. The client needed expansion capital structured around export cash flows, not standard loan products. FX exposure threatened export receipts.

Strategy

Defend trust first. Secure expansion second. Deepen relationship third. Scale ecosystem fourth. A dual-sided operational review identified systemic alerting failures across People, Process, Technology, Monitoring and Governance.

Execution

Trust Restoration Program: CommandBridge Operations Hub, SentinelFlow automation, proactive compensation model, executive communication cadence.

Results

₦180M Growth facility structured · ₦390M Active credit exposure defended · 5+ yrs Relationship retained · ↑ Share of wallet expanded

Lesson

"We did not preserve an account. We engineered a long-term growth partnership."

Beyond the Résumé

Hire the human, not the bullet points.

Gourmet Cooking

Food is my original project management skill. Every dish requires planning, precision, timing, and the ability to adjust when things don't go to plan.

Vocal Performance

Singing taught me breath, presence, and how to hold a room. Skills I use in every client call and every pitch.

Global Travel

Every new country recalibrates how I think. Travel made me adaptable, curious, and comfortable with the unfamiliar — which is exactly what remote work demands.

Continuous Learning

The moment I stop learning is the moment I stop being useful. I invest in new tools, frameworks, and ideas the way others invest in assets.
