Nafisat
A. Akanni
I handle the work that quietly moves things forward, so you can focus on what only you can do.
I'm a Virtual Assistant and Lead Generation Specialist with 3+ years of experience supporting founders, CEOs, and professionals behind the scenes. I don't just check boxes, I think through problems, adapt when things aren't working, and show up consistently.
Inbox & Calendar Management
I take over your scheduling and email so you stop losing hours to back-and-forth. Everything gets organized, followed up, and handled, without you having to ask twice.
LinkedIn Lead Generation
I build targeted lists of 100+ qualified leads monthly using LinkedIn Sales Navigator and manual research. Real, relevant people, not bulk exports.
Candidate Sourcing
Need to hire? I find and vet candidates for technical and non-technical roles using LinkedIn, Boolean search, and job boards. You only see people worth your time.
Job Application Support
I apply for jobs on your behalf, at least 5 tailored applications daily. Your CV gets customized for each role, not copy-pasted. I also do direct outreach to hiring managers where relevant.
LinkedIn Profile Optimization
I rewrite and restructure your LinkedIn so the right people find you, and want to reach out when they do. Headline, About section, experience bullets, all of it.
Research & Admin Support
Online research, data entry, documentation, scheduling. The behind-the-scenes work that keeps everything running smoothly.
Founders, CEOs & Business Owners
You need a trusted operator behind the scenes, someone to handle the details so you can focus on the bigger picture. Whether you need 10 hours a week or full-time support, we'll find a rhythm that works.
Professionals & Job Seekers
You want someone actively working in your corner, applying, optimizing your profile, and opening doors you didn't know were there.
Reach out
Send me an email with a brief description of what you need. No long forms, no calls before we've even talked.
We figure out the fit
I'll ask a few questions to understand your situation, what you need, how you work, and whether I'm the right person to help.
We get started
Once we're aligned, I get to work. You'll hear from me regularly and I'll flag anything that needs your input.

What are your rates?
My rates depend on the scope and type of work. Hourly rates typically start at $10–$15/hr. For ongoing support, I offer monthly retainer packages. Reach out and we'll figure out what works for your situation.
Do you work with clients outside Nigeria?
Yes. I work remotely with clients across different time zones. As long as we can communicate clearly and agree on expectations, location isn't a barrier.
How do we stay in touch once we start working?
That depends on what works for you — email, Slack, WhatsApp, or whatever you already use. I'll adapt. I provide regular updates and check in whenever something needs your attention.
What if I'm not sure what I need?
That's fine — just describe where things feel messy or slow. I'll help you figure out what kind of support would actually make a difference.
Ready when you are.
If you're a founder, business owner, or professional who needs reliable support behind the scenes, I'd like to hear from you.
