Work Background
Releaf Earth (YC W19)Vice President of Growth
Jan. 2023- Released SALT version 2 to handle more field activities including last mile logistics and inventory tracking, as well as a dashboard to help the team understand how profitable our sourcing operation is, as it accounts for 90% of our CoGs. This increased transparency dropped the weight variance in material movement from over 10% to almost 0% - Fully transitioned the team from a hybrid workflow (WhatsApp approvals, sheet tracking) to a more simplified process using SALT as the single source of truth for data. All agents, supervisors, and managers were fully onboarded on SALT. This reduced the time spent on data entry and the approval flow, thereby improving productivity by over 50% - Built in more features in SITE, especially around sustainability, to ensure that Releaf continues to source raw materials from sustainable sources, and perhaps champion the cause for sustainable agriculture by demonstrating how to use software to track sustainability. Other new features help us to make smarter decisions around logistics, and field visits, as a result, we hope to continue to improve allocations of resources. - Worked closely with the VP of sourcing to develop merchant strategy, which allowed us to begin receiving supply directly to the factory, reducing our need to always send out agents to the field. This development also led to farmers agreeing to visit the factory and then get the net weight before receiving payment.
ReleafVice President Sourcing
Jun. 2020 - Jan. 2023- Transitioned from manufacturing to building out the sourcing department from scratch. Designed entire team structure and playbook required at the time, and hired for all positions. - Delivering and interpreting Company OKRs to all team members, and designating sub KRs to different members. - Built a team that could source and deliver over 5000 Tons of palm kernel nuts across two states(AKW and CRS) and over 10 LGAs yearly. Sourced over 15k Tons in 30 months - Using in-depth knowledge of sourcing operations, led the development of the first version of Releaf’s SALT app (Supply And Logistics Tool), to keep track of field activities like recording farmer data, mill tagging, and purchases. - Led Releaf’s study in collaboration with EVA (Geospatial company in Kenya) to complete the oil palm plantation mapping study across southern Nigeria. - Led the development of Releaf’s geospatial tool, SITE, initially called FPS (factory positioning system), to help identify the most ideal location to set up a factory. By overlaying the results from the oil palm study on a map and adding several data layers from our interactions with the oil-producing region, we laid the foundation of what would later become SITE. - Led the Tree height study research in collaboration with Standford University and Prof. Loebel to help understand canopy height mapping for plantations in Nigeria using GEDI, Landsat, and Sentinel-2. Publish a paper in an online scientific research publication. - Created almost standardized metrics for measurement in our marketplace. Community adoption of our weighted buying style as opposed to the old long system of estimating or ‘guessing’ pile size to determine the value. - Liased third-party tech solutions for collaborations to provide value financial services to our users (farmers), especially better payment options. - We kicked off financial and health service schemes for our smallholder farmers, which is largely responsible for their loyalty to the brands
