About

About me

Hey! I’m Samson Osijo, a Product Manager and Digital Innovator. I lead cross-functional teams to build user-centric, data-driven products that solve real-world problems at scale.
With a strong background in social commerce, marketplace platforms, fintech and operations-driven technology, I specialize in product strategy, growth experimentation, and user engagement to achieve business goals.
My passion lies in leveraging technology, behavioral insights, and data to create seamless, high-impact experiences. From launching and scaling products to optimizing user retention and monetization, I thrive at the intersection of innovation, strategy, and execution—ensuring products don’t just work, but make users happy and deliver business goals.
The most important single thing is to focus obsessively on the customer.

-Jeff Bezos
