About Chris

how I got here

I was raised by two entrepreneurial, work-driven parents who showed me that success isn’t luck—it’s built. From a young age, I was pushed to think critically, move strategically, and take ownership of every step I took. That mindset shaped everything that came next.

Though I’ve moved around throughout my life, I’m rooted in New York. I chose to attend LSU—the furthest school I got into—because I believe growth happens outside of your comfort zone. Louisiana was a new world to me, and I leaned into that discomfort, knowing I’d come out sharper.

At my core, I believe in this:

“If you really want to understand something, step into someone else’s shoes and look at the world from their angle.”

To me, life is a circle—with infinite points, each one representing a unique perspective. My goal is to collect as many of those perspectives as I can. That principle shows up in how I lead, how I listen, how I build. I don’t just want to be effective—I want to be expansive, because real progress comes from seeing more than your own angle.

Over the years, I’ve worked in hospitality, customer service, sales, leadership, and strategic growth roles—from Hilton Hotels to nonprofit marketing firms to independent business consulting. I’ve stepped into teams that needed support, territories that needed structure, and operations that needed clarity. And each time, I brought momentum, not just management.

But more than any title or task, the real work has been internal.

In the last four years, I’ve made it a priority to build myself into a foundation: someone reliable, reflective, and intentional. I journal daily. I study people. I set high standards for myself and keep my promises. I’ve focused on becoming a person who doesn’t just get results—but holds steady when life gets chaotic.

This next chapter isn’t about chasing jobs. It’s about building legacy. And I’m ready to lay bricks with people who want to build something real.

I’m a systems-minded professional who approaches challenges with curiosity, structure, and a focus on helping teams work more effectively. My background spans HR, operations, and marketing—where I’ve supported compliance projects, coordinated large-scale events, and developed workflow tools that made day-to-day work smoother.

Originally from New York, I earned my B.S. in Leadership and Human Resource Development from Louisiana State University, where I also took on leadership roles in student organizations and nonprofit initiatives. These experiences reinforced my belief in accountability, collaboration, and helping people grow as part of a team.

Professionally, I’m at my best when supporting execution—bridging communication between groups, clarifying processes, and keeping momentum moving forward. I’m now seeking an opportunity as an HR, Operations, or Marketing Coordinator/Analyst where I can apply these strengths, keep learning, and contribute to long-term success.

Chris Okoduwa

I’m a business-minded operator with a sharp eye for inefficiencies, untapped potential, and underdeveloped systems. My background spans leadership, HR, and field operations—where I’ve consistently stepped into undefined or underperforming spaces and rebuilt them into productive, high-output environments.

Most recently, I served as an Area Marketing Director overseeing fundraising outreach teams across hundreds of activations, scaling revenue by over $500K. I specialize in translating big-picture strategy into frontline execution—whether that’s through workflow tools, team coaching, or performance frameworks. I’ve led cross functional initiatives, bridged executive vision with field reality, and created systems that help people move better and think smarter.

Before that, I worked in human resources and people ops roles—supporting employee relations, developing SHRM prep programs, analyzing large datasets, and coaching intern teams. I’ve worn many hats, but my strength is consistent: bringing clarity, stability, and forward motion to the environments I’m part of.

Along the way, I’ve taken pride in becoming the kind of person organizations can depend on—someone who leads with structure, adapts quickly, and shows up with a long-term mindset. Now, I’m looking for the next opportunity to apply that foundation and build something meaningful, sustainable, and scalable.

I am a thoughtful, systems-minded professional who approaches challenges with curiosity, structure, and a genuine desire to contribute meaningfully to the success of those around me. My value has never been limited to a single function. My strength lies in My ability to understand the broader picture, identify what’s holding progress back, and help build the tools, clarity, or coordination needed to move things forward.

Originally from New York, I earned My B.S. in Leadership and Human Resource Development from Louisiana State University, while taking on various leadership roles—each one reinforcing my belief in accountability, structure, and service. From supporting nonprofit causes to mentoring peers, My academic and extracurricular journey was rooted in helping people grow both individually and as part of something larger.

Professionally, I worked across multiple levels of organizations, often serving as a bridge between day-to-day operations and the bigger-picture goals of leadership. My high performing outreach, coordinated hundreds of public events, and helped generate over $500,000 in revenue through all-encompassing systems and coaching. My real impact has often come from the quiet but deliberate ways he improves performance— whether tailoring training systems, bridging critical communication gaps, or transforming stagnant strategies into actionable momentum.

Colleagues often describe Me as someone who brings order to complexity without overwhelming it. I listens before acting, considers multiple perspectives, and stays anchored in the belief that execution and improvement are not opposing forces—they should coexist. I am not motivated by titles or accolades, but rather by being part of a team that values progress, ambition, and continuous learning.

Throughout My career, I have consistently adapted to meet the needs of each role— often stepping into undefined spaces and turning ambiguity into momentum. I thrives alongside ambitious, collaborative people—whether teammates or leaders—who are hungry for further success and results. In return, I bring a mindset rooted in adaptability, strategic problem-solving, and contributions that help organizations work smarter and scale stronger over time.

Now, I am seeking My next opportunity—one where I can not only bring my perspective to the table but cement myself as a pivotal force in driving sustainable growth. I am drawn to those environments where challenge is constant, shifting gears is second nature, and
solving complex problems isn’t a disruption—it is the job.
