Hello and Thank You for visiting my blog – Journey from a village in Africa to Corporate America!
My name is Ozii Obiyo, aka Ozisco!
I’m passionate about technology and business development.
As a Sr. Account manager at AWS, I help my enterprise clients attain growth and enhance their customer’s experience by connecting them to reliable, scalable, and inexpensive cloud computing services. Over the past 2 years, I’ve worked exclusively with Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) who are building successful businesses on top of the AWS platform. I also help design and launch strategic go-to-market and co-selling strategies.
Prior to AWS, I advised CXOs and Senior Executives of top tier publicly traded and privately held companies on how to execute their vision, strategy and goals using highly customized and gamified learning experiences. To this end, I conceptualized, developed and facilitated these learning experiences that imparted sales leaders, sales managers, and salespeople with deeper customer insights, robust financial and industry acumen and refined consultative selling skills. I’ve consulted on projects across the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe, and worked with clients such as SAP, Deloitte, Cisco, Google, Oracle, Standard Bank (South Africa), and many others.
Prior to BTS, I spent time at Oracle, where I was responsible for selling the company’s database technology platform to IT and business leaders in Fortune 500 companies. In 2014, I was recognized with the highly coveted Against All Odds employee award.
I also have experience in direct sales, sales management and entrepreneurship, having founded a media marketing company in 2009.
I received my MBA with a concentration in International Business from Temple University and Ecole Des Points.
When I’m not helping clients solve complex problems, I enjoy exploring interesting destinations with my camera.
I also enjoy blogging about business development, leadership, and sales on ozisco.com
I’m also a very competitive ping pong player who believes offense is the best defense.
Education
I attended the University of Texas at Austin (Hook’Em!). During my time exploring the 40 acres, I started the first African Radio show and African TV Show – AfroFantastic TV.
I got a dual MBA degree from Temple University in Philly and Ecole Des Ponts Paritech in Paris.
