Built around the realities of industrial trade.

ProcuraBridge connects industrial purchasing, invoice checks and payment visibility. Our team is building this workflow for buyers and suppliers between France and Nigeria.

The three founders

Effiong Okon Esumo

Chief Executive Officer

Effiong brings more than twenty-three years across banking, finance, public affairs and the oil and gas value chain. At ExxonMobil, he led category work for field operations, shaped global sourcing for well completions and advised on deepwater drilling procurement. Earlier, he redesigned a supplier-payments process around an SAP workflow. This mix of buying, approvals, finance and stakeholder management gives ProcuraBridge direct insight into how complex industrial transactions move from contract to payment. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria.

Ogunsemowo Olasunkanmi John

Chief Product Officer

Olasunkanmi combines product, technology and commercial leadership across energy and industrial markets. As General Manager of Gibadi.com, he ran a specialist industrial-supplies e-commerce business with full profit-and-loss responsibility and direction across its functions. Previously, as IT Manager at GIL Automation, he led technology planning, systems deployment and day-to-day operations. He has since served as a managing director in the energy sector. His computer science and marketing background helps ProcuraBridge translate complex procurement workflows into a product that industrial teams can adopt and scale.

Oche Morgan Unogwu

Chief Commercial Officer

Oche brings more than seventeen years across the oil and gas value chain, connecting technical operations with commercial execution. As Head of Commercial at Midwestern Oil and Gas, he led commercial strategy and contract negotiations with international oil traders. At Eroton, he managed crude export and shipping operations, regulatory permits, pricing discussions and logistics partners. Earlier export leadership included supplier vetting and joint-venture offtake compliance. His experience gives ProcuraBridge a grounded view of counterparties, contracts and supply-chain risk in cross-border African industrial trade.
