Hi, I’m Yussif. I am an innovative person who is passionate about technology, strategic marketing, product management, finance, events, and social projects. Currently working as a business development, product & event manager for IT Consortium – I work with over 10 amazing payment solutions that provide value to clients and resolve everyday human problems. I wear many hats: As a product manager, I created a strategic guide for the first Bank of Ghana-approved group contribution and crowdfunding platform, Chango; to boost the user base. I also establish key partnerships and channels to promote the platform. I regularly provide insights, user feedback and research findings for product development. As a finance person, I built the filemaker tool for large data financial analysis and reconciliation. This helps in detecting gaps and errors in transactions on a daily basis for rectification. I also handled reconciliation of official bank accounts, preparation of annual budget, preparation of final accounts and asset register management. As a project or community manager, I am currently leading a partnership project with the United Nations Capital Development Fund to provide affordable and sustainable water and sanitation facilities for low income communities in the Ashanti and Western Region.

I also led the organisation of various webinars, workshops, training, product exhibition and launch. I currently handle all press releases, interviews, live presenter mentions, online and offline media communications for IT Consortium. As a strategic marketer, I am constantly researching and presenting new ideas and strategies to improve performance of products and services. I also develop and implement marketing campaigns, evaluate the effectiveness of campaigns, write and present proposals for new businesses, manage the company and product websites, manage social media pages.
