As the Group Managing Director, Jacky has to his credit many business innovations that have enabled Dana Group to successfully foray into diversified fields in new product lines. An honours graduate in Business Administration from European Business School of London, he has, since 1997 been responsible for strategically directing the Group in building a formidable niche in Nigeria as a conglomerate dealing within several sectors of the economy. He has steered the Dana Group to its current status as a leading player and his presence has seen the Group increase its turnover manifold. The drive into Automobiles and Steel has assured success, which has been further augmented by the recently established FMCG factory for Milk Powder packaging and Instant Noodles. The upcoming new Rice Mill and Steel Rolling Mill has been added to his portfolio. .

Born in West Africa in 1950, his career spans over four decades of fruitful endeavour. As a young graduate, and himself an entrepreneur at heart, he commenced his own trading operations in the early 70s. Some years later, breaking away from the tradition of dealing in general merchandise, he laid the foundations of his first pharmaceutical manufacturing unit. The seed of what was to become the Dana Group of Companies was sown and over the years he began diversifying into new fields, specialising in the MNC dominated field of industrial chemicals. Further expansions into new industries continued alongside a growing portfolio of trading operations, popularising the Dana brand as a name synonymous with quality and affordability, and also representing world-class brands in Nigeria and the Sub-Saharan region. His business enterprise and acumen have resulted into a well diversified and financially strong Group of Companies recognised as a foremost business house in Nigeria with a firm industrial base.
