Success has been involved in financial services and entrepreneurial activities in Africa since 1988. He worked in various firms such as Whiteland Agro-allied financial services, Dominion Trust (one of the earliest stock-brokerage firms in Nigeria) and Vineyard Finance where he rose to become director- trade finance. In 1994 Succes led a team to start African Investment Consult services (AICS) a trailblazer at that time in sub-Saharan Africa.

Some of AICS clients were Badagry oil (first indigenous firm to get an approval to start an oil refinery in Nigeria), Salewa Trading who at the time was one of the largest distributors for Unilever in West Africa, Benin Republic, a country in West Africa and the Lagos state government in Nigeria. Within a subsidiary, Tourism consult services, was recognised as one of the leading Leisure consultants in Nigeria and was chosen as one of the delegates to represent the country in World Tourism festival in America, 1996.

Success has led cross-functional teams in trans-regional projects, managing the dual role of a business as well as political liaison. Through his work he has developed and sustained a substantial and varied network of business and political relationships across most of the Continent.

In 1999, he migrated to the UK with the vision of building a global financial services firm based in Europe whose focus would be to meet the demand gap for corporate finance in Africa. Success has since 1999 been quite active as a consultant for various start-ups in Africa and as an SME consultant in the UK.

Previous to joining Excellere Capital Group he was the CEO of a financial services firm Joseph Daniels ltd, a firm that acts as a gateway into the African business terrain for Investors from outside the continent.

The African business, economic and political landscape is without a doubt a very familiar environment for him. Additionally, the exposure he has achieved and the experience he has since gained in Europe is considerable.

Success has developed a series of business outreach seminars and also has started a business network called Josephs & Daniels, which holds ‘WEALTH CREATION IN AFRICA’ seminars. The seminars are designed to help raise entrepreneurs of integrity in Africa.
