Oji is a stellar business attorney who goes to great lengths to get the best results for his clients. Oji is trustworthy and operates with the utmost integrity.
I highly recommend Mr. Nwankwo. He represented our company as outside general counsel negotiating and drafting agreements, handling corporate and regulatory matters, and providing general legal advice. I am an executive vice president of a mid-sized international software and manufacturing company and interfaced with Mr. Nwankwo directly on numerous legal matters. Our industry is highly regulated and complex. No two situations or contracts were the same. With every matter, Mr. Nwankwo was able to quickly understand the key issues and thoroughly evaluate and explain the potential risks or pitfalls. While being thorough with the downside risks, he also has a strong understanding of the real-world applications of the law and can present and advise on potential legal and strategic options from a place of experience (due to his significant senior management experience). Equally as important, he was highly responsive and easy to work with.
Oji was one our first key hires on the Popcast Team. He anchored the business development group based on his legal experience, business acumen and results. Oji successfully led negotiations on key strategic deals in the mobile, ISP, technology and online content space. Additionally, we leaned heavily on Oji for legal support - he drafted from scratch the majority of our commercial agreements and provided ongoing legal review, management and guidance on virtually all major contract negotiations. I highly recommend Oji based on his legal, negotiating and contract execution expertise
Oji was one of my senior leaders and stands out as one of the 2 or 3 best colleagues I've ever worked with. Most CEO's know that there are few reports to whom you can surface an issue and be confident that it will be handled without worry or need for assistance or course correction. Oj is one of those rare individuals - when he was on it, I didn't worry. At various times he led our professional services and customer support operations, technical software implementation activities, and product design. He is deeply talented in managing customer relations - more than a few senior execs told me he was the best in the business and his team the most responsive and professional there was. Moreover, Oj is a loyal team player, highly intelligent and extremely polished. I would be eager to hire him again and recommend him without reservation.
Oji is the ideal co-worker. Organized, detail oriented and efficient, he's one of the few people in the workplace you can always trust to both answer your questions and answer them properly. He is also a reliable and helpful resource on both micro and macro issues; from rights and clearances minutia to long term distribution concerns.
Oji was an integral member of my content acquisition/licensing team at FasTV. He's a solid, steady and conscientious performer with excellent attention to detail, always working to drive the best interest of the business forward
Oji has an outstanding ability to represent customer needs to engineering concisely. His ability to prioritize customer-facing issues in light of engineering constraints, and with an eye toward the impact such demands make on engineering, is invaluable. He has a knack for expressing the urgency of issues without blame, letting everyone focus on the solution not the problems stemming from it. He's a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him.
