Description

I'm a business development and sales professional currently interning at Ethical Lifestyle Group, where I manage commercial growth across three sustainable brands: Ethical Yacht Wear, Ethical Uniform Company, and Ethical Music Merchandise, spanning the superyacht, hospitality, and live events industries.

My work covers the full BD cycle: market research, prospect list building, personalised multi-channel outreach, CRM management, GTM strategy development, and physical representation at industry events including the Palma International Boat Show.

Before moving into sustainable apparel, I spent five years as Export Manager at Sometime International Nigeria Limited, managing international trade across multiple markets, followed by a sales and marketing internship at Raznameh Group.

I'm currently completing my Master's in International Management at Toulouse School of Management, with a thesis on sustainable market entry strategy in the French yachting market.
