Represent Geny at trade fairs, industry events, and exhibitions across Lagos, Abuja, Aba, and Port Harcourt

4. Build and Lead a National Team

Recruit, train, and manage regional vendor scouts and city-level reps

Set up field operations (if needed) and build a distributed but tech-enabled supply acquisition team
