Athlete Partnerships & Growth Manager

Born in Nigeria and raised in Charlotte, I grew up around sports and competition, playing volleyball and running track before attending East Carolina University. I started my career with the Charlotte Hornets, where I built a strong foundation in client experience and revenue generation. Now, I lead athlete partnerships and growth for Melo Munchies and DRNX, driving brand collaborations, activations, and expansion at the intersection of sports and culture. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, cooking, going to basketball and football games, fashion and styling people.
