Godfrey Imuetinyan Aikpitanyi

I have over 17 years of progressive experience in sales, logistics, and operations within the FMCG and cosmetics industries, particularly at N.N. FEMS Industries Ltd, where I advanced from Sales Representative to Zonal Sales Manager. My expertise spans:

Sales Leadership: Led sales operations across northern Nigeria, consistently exceeding revenue targets (over N2 billion annually) and delivering over 1 million cartons in volume.

Market Expansion: Successfully revamped underperforming regions (like Maiduguri and Yola), pioneered new retail distribution channels, and introduced direct-to-market strategies.

Depot & Regional Management: Managed key depots, optimized sales team performance, and improved depot efficiency by 95% year-over-year.

Customer Relationship & Brand Development: Organized trade fairs, boosted brand awareness, and developed strong partnerships to promote products like Apple and Ozone cosmetics.

Operational Versatility: In addition to sales, I have hands-on experience and certifications in forklift operation, truck driving, HSE, and warehouse management, showing my ability to combine leadership with practical, on-the-ground capabilities.

I am a proven performer, combining business acumen with practical skills in logistics, people management, and strategic planning.

My most relevant education includes, but is not limited to:

M.Sc. Business Administration

A graduate-level program focused on advanced business strategy, management, and leadership, enhancing my organizational growth and decision-making capabilities.

B.Sc. Economics (Second Class Upper)

B.Sc. Marketing (Second Class Lower)
