Got five minutes?
I'm researching what actually keeps Nigerian professionals in their jobs, and what makes them choose one company over another. Two short surveys, 5 minutes each, completely anonymous. Findings will be published and shared with everyone who takes part.
Panels, sessions, and talks.
Drawn directly from building and scaling HR systems across four companies, plus running Mainstack's internal Speaker Series featuring guests like Babajide Duroshola and Tricia Biz.
What people have said.
"Thank you for your unwavering commitment towards the vision of Mainstack"
— Ayo, CEO Mainstack."Liz, you've transformed what Mainstack is to its employees. I adore your work and the intentionality behind all you do."
— Seun, Head of Engineering, Mainstack."Thank you Liz, for how you were able to resolve the issue yesterday. You really are a brilliant person to work with. Any company will be lucky to have you."
— Head of sales and business.I've built People functions across four different companies.
Over the last six years, I've built People systems from scratch, redesigned existing ones, introduced performance management systems, led company-wide hiring, developed compensation frameworks, and partnered with leadership on organizational design and transformation.
I've learned that growing a business requires hiring the right people and providing them with an operating rhythm that helps them do their best work. Clear goals. Accountability. Strong managers. Simple processes. Better decisions. And these are all things I enjoy working on.
This site is where that experience turns into something usable for other people: playbooks, writing, and talks built from what actually happens on the inside.
Let's talk.
