I was born in Nigeria and moved to Canada in 2014. My wife and I, along with our children, now live in the Greater Toronto Area. Before settling in Canada, I lived and/or worked in the UK, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein, with business assignments and travel spanning 26 countries including the United States, Europe, South Korea, Japan, and Australia.
I bring 23 years of experience as a seasoned, entrepreneurial leader in industrial manufacturing, building and construction products, and the oil and energy sectors. My career includes leadership roles in sales, strategic marketing, business development, and engineering, managing a P&L exceeding $80 million and sales portfolios of over $100 million. I have scaled businesses, led cross-functional teams, and delivered growth across both Fortune 500 and globally recognized family-owned firms. I hold an MBA from Cranfield School of Management in the UK and a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
Canada has been home for more than a decade. I have built deep roots, a strong professional network, and a long-term commitment to our nation’s industrial manufacturing, energy, and MRO industries, where I am now focused on acquiring and scaling an industrial SME.
ContactI am focused on acquiring a profitable, asset-light industrial business with $10–50 million in revenue, operating in a fragmented market and potentially facing a succession challenge. Ideal targets include industrial manufacturers, distributors of industrial and building products, or MRO service providers, based in Ontario, with flexibility to pursue compelling opportunities across Canada.
Over the years, I have honed the strategic, financial, and operational expertise essential to building profitable industrial businesses and high-performing teams. I have led growth initiatives, developed commercial strategies, launched new ventures, and scaled brands across industrial and energy markets in Canada and internationally.
My value creation approach is rooted in a deep focus on the customer and anchored in clear strategy, disciplined execution, efficient processes, customer-driven innovation, financial rigor, and strong, aligned teams.
Today, I am focused on acquiring and scaling an industrial business, preserving its founding legacy while applying my experience and capabilities to lead it into its next phase of growth and value creation.
