After graduating from Marist Brothers Juniorate in 1986, I was accepted at the University of Nigeria Nsukka where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and Advertising in 1991. I also hold an MBA in Marketing and International business from both the University of Nigeria Enugu Campus and the University of Illinois at Chicago. Since graduating from UIC in 2000, I've been a cross functional business executive with 20+ years of experience in multichannel marketing, financial services and payment solutions. I'm married with 4 boys. I enjoy spending time with my boys and watching them grow. I love football and follow the English Premier League (Liverpool FC fan). I'm also a big fan of the NBA having played and captained the basketball teams at Marist and at the University of Nigeria in NUGA (Nigeria University Games) competitions. I'm an active member of the US/Canada Chapter, and enjoy interacting with my Xjay brothers
