African Business Consulting

I ran Amazon's
largest European
operation. Now I work
with yours.

A million units a week. Multi-country logistics at scale. Getir, Atlassian, Google DeepMind. I bring those systems — the ones global companies use as a benchmark — directly to African founders ready to operate at a different level.

The Problem

The gap isn't talent.
It's access to the
right systems.

African businesses are run by some of the most resourceful founders in the world. What's missing isn't intelligence or ambition — it's the operational infrastructure that global companies have spent decades building.

That's the gap I close. Not with theory. With the actual playbooks built inside the actual companies.

01
Operations outpace the systemGrowth stalls because the infrastructure wasn't built to scale alongside it.
02
Global expertise doesn't reach your marketThe operators who've built at scale aren't accessible to most African founders.
03
Investor-readiness is an operational questionFunding conversations stall not for lack of opportunity — but lack of structured proof.
04
What got you here won't get you thereThe systems that work at ₦50M break at ₦500M. Most founders discover this too late.

About

Not a coach.
Not a framework.
An operator.

I didn't study these systems in a classroom. I ran them. At Amazon, I led Customer Fulfilment across Europe's largest operation — a million units moving every week, across multiple countries. Then I brought those skills into fast-scaling startups: Getir, Gorillas, Atlassian, and Google DeepMind.

Every founder I work with gets access to what took me a decade to build inside those companies. I work with very few clients. That's intentional.

What this looks like in practice.

OSAL Agric
Agricultural business · Nigeria
Systems Design Investor Readiness Operations
The Situation

OSAL Agric came in at a critical growth inflection point — real commercial opportunity held back by fragmented internal systems and inconsistent working practices. The kind of operational chaos that makes serious investors hesitant to engage.

What We Did

Built end-to-end operational systems and documentation from the ground up. Restructured internal workflows to create clarity, consistency and accountability — the infrastructure needed to make OSAL credible at an institutional level.

The Outcome

OSAL Agric is now in active investment conversations and working directly with the Nigerian Commodity Exchange — a relationship that reflects the operational and institutional credibility this engagement was designed to create.

Outcomes
Active investment conversations underway
Partnership with Nigerian Commodity Exchange
