Roderic Orioha

I am a dedicated and results-oriented sales and management professional with over a decade of progressive experience in sales, operations, and team leadership across diverse industries. My journey in professional development began after earning a Bachelor of Sciences in Chemistry from the University of Calabar in 2012. Since then, I have built a strong foundation in sales strategy, client relationship management, performance analysis, and operational excellence, consistently driving growth and achieving organizational goals.

My career trajectory reflects a commitment to excellence and continuous improvement. As a Sales/Operations Manager at Ricko Services in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, I was responsible for building authentic, long-term client relationships and delivering compelling product presentations tailored to client needs. I consistently negotiated profitable deals and managed objections effectively, ensuring high levels of client satisfaction. My role also required frequent local travel—up to 50% of the time—to cover assigned sales territories, demonstrating my flexibility, resilience, and customer-centric approach.

In subsequent roles, including Sales Manager at Elinna & Co. Group and Sales Representative at Beta Wave Distribution Company in Marina, Lagos, I developed and executed ambitious sales plans to meet and exceed revenue targets. I recruited, trained, coached, and motivated sales teams to perform at their best, conducted performance reviews, and utilized CRM systems to track sales pipelines and metrics. My focus has always been on enhancing market share while nurturing key client accounts to ensure strong retention and strategic partnerships.

Earlier in my career, I also served as a Class Teacher and Head of Department at Silverjenny’s International School in Ikotun, Lagos, where I planned and delivered effective lessons, monitored student progress, and maintained a positive learning environment. This experience strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to connect with diverse audiences—skills that have proven invaluable in my sales and leadership roles.

I am proficient in essential office tools such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and design/photo-editing software, making me tech-savvy and adaptable to modern workplace demands. My core strengths include excellent communication, transparency, accountability, teamwork, and the ability to meet deadlines and targets.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I am passionate about community service and actively support my local charity, St. Vincent de Paul, through home-cleaning initiatives and fundraising. I also enjoy music and photography in my leisure time, and I am skilled in playing both the piano and guitar.

Fluent in English, Igbo, Yoruba, and Efik, my goal is to continue evolving as a skilled professional in a well-organized, dynamic organization where I can contribute to growth, drive impact, and positively influence society.
