At BIC East Africa, I manage receivables for 40–60 distributors across Eastern Africa and approximately USD 4 million in monthly collections. I’ve reduced overdue debt by 62% and maintain a 45-day DSO.

At GLACIER PRODUCTS LTD, I managed collections for 100–130 customers and retail stores, handling approximately USD 200,000 in monthly collections. I achieved and maintained a 30-day DSO and reduced overdue debt by 40%.

Earlier, as a Credit Control Assistant at OPLAY KENYA LTD, I followed up on outstanding loan payments and recorded customer responses in the Okash System Collection module. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Information Technology from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.
