• Strategic Roadmaps: Support the MEA Strategy Head and country MD in assessing local M&A opportunities, joint ventures, or local assembly partnerships that enhance our competitive edge in the Nigerian power sector.
• Synthesize the Country MD’s immediate operational needs with the MEA Hub’s long-term strategic KPIs, ensuring Nigeria’s unique risk-reward profile is accurately represented in global investment committees.
• Lead cross-functional teams, fostering a strong network within Siemens Energy to drive strategic initiatives.
