Background
I am the first born child, born to Nigerian immigrants and moved to the UK at the age of 5 (with english not being my spoken language).
Career to Date
I started my career at Deloitte LLP, in 2010 on their graduate programme within the Enterprise Risk Services where I gained exposure to high profile clients within my first year (e.g. Global transformation projects at Tier 1 banks). I spent just under four years at Deloitte, and whilst there I gained an Accounting qualification (ACA) and gained tangible managerial and client relationship building experience.
In 2014, I transitioned into Industry working within the Internal Audit function where I was responsible for coaching and managing graduates. I was involved with Finance and Due diligence reviews for new business acquisitions, which provided insights into the management and development of medium size organisations (across the UK).
In 2016, I joined Anglo Americans business assurance team, where I am responsible for delivering assurance reviews across De Beers downstream and Anglo American Marketing (the commodity trading floors across the globe). I am the lead client relationship manager for Anglo American Marketing and this role provides exposure to Senior Management (e.g. CEO direct reports).
