Operations leader driving efficiency, cost reduction and high-performing teams in service delivery.
What I'm looking for
I am an operations leader with extensive experience building and mentoring high-performance teams, optimizing processes, and aligning operations with organisational strategy. I have led day-to-day operations, implemented SOPs, and driven improvements in turnaround time, capacity utilization and cost control.
In prior roles I managed cash operations in banking—forecasting liquidity, overseeing vault/ATM replenishment, and enforcing strong controls—and later led customer service and operations teams, delivering measurable efficiency and quality gains. I apply data-driven decision making, process design, and frameworks such as Lean/Six Sigma to reduce costs and improve service delivery.
I prioritize stakeholder collaboration, clear KPIs, and continuous improvement to ensure business continuity and customer satisfaction. I am motivated to scale operations, implement automation where beneficial, and foster a culture of accountability and performance.
