What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth while contributing to impactful organizational change.

I am a seasoned Strategy & Transformation Advisor with a proven track record of driving organizational change and market growth. Over the years, I have acted as an executive advisor to C-level leaders, leading significant projects such as the national ISO 20022 adoption and delivering strategic insights for fintech clients. My ability to create financial models and execute enterprise transformation strategies has resulted in remarkable revenue and productivity boosts for organizations.

In my previous role as Strategy and Corporate Planning Lead at Consolidated Hallmark Insurance PLC, I directed initiatives that led to the company’s first-ever 10-figure profit. My experience spans across various sectors, where I have successfully managed cross-functional teams and implemented budgetary controls that ensured fiscal discipline. I am passionate about fostering employee engagement and optimizing operational processes, which has consistently contributed to sustained profitability growth.

With a strong academic background, including an MBA and an MSc in Management, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I have received several awards for my contributions to organizational success and am eager to leverage my expertise to drive impactful results in future roles.
