A Journey of Learning and Contribution

My journey began in Nigeria and continued through the academic halls of Canada, where my foundation in architecture and engineering was further strengthened by a second master’s degree. It was there that I pursued a novel line of research—applying mathematical modelling to analyze and predict human behavior within built environments. Through that work, I developed an integrative, systems-oriented perspective that later expanded beyond the built environment into the domains of intelligence, technology, and leadership.

In the United States, that interdisciplinary trajectory deepened. I was among the first four graduates in the US, and by extension, worldwide, in the then-emerging field of Competitive Intelligence and Analytics, earning distinction. The other three pioneer graduates were US military intelligence officers. I subsequently completed an additional master’s degree in Information Technology—making it my fourth master’s degree—again with distinction. This progression ultimately led me to pursue and complete a doctorate specializing in Organizational Leadership and Change Management; it allowed me to further integrate my academic and professional interests.

Standing at the intersection of intelligence, analytics, and leadership today, my work integrates advanced statistical, mathematical, and computer-assisted methods to foresee disruption, illuminate strategic weaknesses and advantages, and shape decision-making in complex, high-stakes, and rapidly evolving environments.

My projects (most of which are collaborative) use data and computer-assisted analysis to understand complex systems and new trends that affect organizations and society. My work helps identify risks, disruptions, and opportunities so organizational and public leaders can make better decisions in high-stakes situations that affect long-term security.
