How do you prefer to be pitched on stories?

I appreciate when pitches align with my entrepreneurial focus, language skills, or aviation expertise. Please include specific details that show you've taken the time to understand my background and accomplishments.

When's the best time to pitch you?
The best time to pitch me is when your idea aligns with my expertise and interests. I’m deeply involved in entrepreneurship, leadership development, international relations, and niche coaching audiences, as well as business consultancy.Here are some ideal moments to reach out:When your pitch aligns with my expertise: Opportunities in entrepreneurship, leadership training, financial consultancy, or innovative business solutions are likely to grab my attention.As I’m planning my next move: I’m currently pursuing a degree in International Relations at the London School of Economics, so anything related to global business, international affairs, or cultural projects could resonate with me.Before the launch of my book: If your pitch ties into my themes of professional and personal growth, or my experiences in Africa and new beginnings, it would be especially timely.When I’m growing new projects: Given my role at Wealth Drive Gain Limited Nigeria and my history of building startups, I’m always open to ideas related to business development or strategic partnerships.Make sure your pitch aligns with my values and focus on fostering leadership and financial freedom for others.
What's the best pitch you ever got?
The best pitch I ever got wasn’t just about selling an idea—it was about solving a problem in a way I hadn’t considered before. Someone approached me with a travel startup concept that combined adventure sports and entrepreneurship workshops. It hit all the right notes: a clear value proposition, passion, and a vision that resonated with my own interests. That pitch didn’t just get my attention—it inspired me to think bigger about how I approach my own ventures.
What's the worst pitch you ever got?
The worst pitch I ever received was one that was completely generic and irrelevant to my interests and expertise. It was clear that the sender hadn't done any research on who I am or what I do, and it felt like a mass email sent out to a random list. There was no personal touch, no clear value proposition, and no alignment with my background in entrepreneurship, aviation, or my multilingual skills. It was a missed opportunity because pitches that aren't tailored or thought out not only waste my time but also reflect poorly on the sender.
When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?
When I'm not at a computer, you can usually find me on the move—whether it’s exploring a new travel destination, strategizing on the go for my latest entrepreneurial venture, or staying active through sports. I believe in maintaining a balance between productivity and passion, and these activities not only keep me energized but also inspire fresh ideas for my work.
