Product Builder, Digital Transformation Executive and Entrepreneur

I am a product builder, digital transformation executive, and entrepreneur based in the Phoenix metro area.

Since moving from Nigeria to the United States in 2013, I have dedicated my career to bridging human-centered design, enterprise technology, and public-sector efficiency. I founded the digital product studio Eikon Labs, established the State of Arizona's first Digital Solutions Office, and currently serve as a Senior Digital Advisor (CX Lead) for the State of Colorado.

Deeply committed to community and workforce development, I also chair the advisory board for Per Scholas Phoenix.

About

A one way ticket, then over a decade of building

In 2013, I left Nigeria for the United States with a one-way ticket and two suitcases. My older brother had pulled me into computers early, and the pull held: a decade of building products across startups and Fortune 500 companies, followed by founding my own digital studio, Eikon Labs, in Phoenix.

In early 2024, I joined the Arizona Strategic Enterprise Technology office and stood up the state's first Digital Solutions Office. Working within ASET-ADOA, we embedded human-centered design and agile procurement into the core of how Arizona ships public services. Under that leadership, Arizona earned 1st place in its category in the 2024 Digital States Survey. Today, I advise the State of Colorado as a Senior Digital Advisor and CX Lead.

Beyond government digital transformation, my focus centers on small business growth and community development. I chair the advisory board at Per Scholas Phoenix, helping train and connect individuals to tech careers. I also partner in operating our family's commercial cleaning company and host The Inflection Podcast, interviewing leaders about the strategic turning points that changed their direction.
