Facilities & Operations Management · 16+ years
Keeping estates and
operations running.
I'm Oluseyi Olofin — a facilities and operations management executive based in Lagos, Nigeria. Over sixteen years I've taken residential, commercial and luxury estates from fragmented and reactive to accountable, compliant and cost-efficient, currently as Chief Operating Officer at Arable Management Services Limited.

About
Sixteen years of making the built environment dependable.
My career has run from field service engineering to operations supervision, facilities and property management, and now Chief Operating Officer — across single sites, multi-site portfolios and a 10-billion-naira luxury estate. I've mobilised and stabilised sites, rebuilt preventive maintenance around what actually matters, and turned fragmented vendor arrangements into accountable, measurable service.
I care most about the unglamorous parts — compliance that holds up to review, budgets that land where they should, and vendor performance that's monitored rather than assumed. An electrical engineering foundation and an MBA now sit behind the operational experience, which is how I approach both the technical and the commercial sides of facilities management.
