I am Gare Oderhohwo, the seasoned Managing Director at Gaflex Capital Funding Inc. With a rich history in the financial sector, my professional journey has been marked by significant tenures at three distinguished banks in Africa—Standard Chartered Bank, Diamond Bank (now Access Diamond Bank) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MfaEhSje04i4DM0P2qhSz0zEfO9hskRz/view?usp=drive_link, and Sterling Bank. Over a span of six years, I honed my expertise in both retail and corporate banking, cultivating a nuanced understanding of the intricacies within these sectors. My academic background is distinguished by a Master's degree in Metallurgical/Materials Engineering, a discipline that has provided me with a unique perspective in my subsequent ventures. My involvement in high-profile projects within the Oil and Gas sector, overseeing endeavors for reputable companies such as Seplat Petroleum and Hydrocarbon Support Concept, further solidified my standing as a competent professional in the field. The genesis of Gaflex Capital Funding Inc. saw me enter the financial landscape as a facilitator specializing in retail and small business funding. However, as a testament to my adaptability and commitment to continuous growth, I recently redirected my focus towards corporate project funding finance. Eager to augment my skills, I undertook a comprehensive refresher course with the prestigious Corporate Finance Institute (CFI). This entailed intensive study in areas such as Corporate Finance, Asset-Based Lending (ABL), and Introduction to Business Intelligence, among other pertinent subjects. My global exposure extends beyond banking and finance. In Nigeria, my company was appointed as a project insurance originator under the EDN PRI-OPIC program https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IREACGONDQpVjlwUTucYx55w-dAsmLDA/view?usp=drive_link, in collaboration with the Oversea Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). Despite the program's eventual discontinuation, owing to the high-risk landscape in Nigeria hindering Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs), the experience showcased my company's resilience and strategic acumen in navigating complex business environments. As I continue my professional journey, I remain committed to leveraging my extensive background and ongoing education to propel myself to new heights in the corporate project funding arena.
