What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior roles in credit risk, SME/corporate lending, underwriting, credit policy, and financial analysis. I'm also interested in AI finance evaluation and advisory projects. I bring 25 years of banking experience in credit assessment, portfolio monitoring, lending decisions, and credit policy. I value professional integrity, sound judgment, and a respectful work environment.

I’m a Senior Credit Risk & Banking Professional with 15+ years of experience in credit analysis, portfolio management, and risk-based decision-making across corporate, SME, and retail segments. I’m known for serving as a core member of Credit Committees, contributing to loan approvals, restructuring strategies, and credit policy development.

As Credit Allocation Manager at Ziraat Bank Kosovo, I evaluate ~20 credit cases monthly and help shape collective decisions on structuring, risk mitigation, and credit quality. I also identify process inefficiencies and lead improvements in credit workflows, including designing and implementing a workaround for incorrect overdraft interest system calculations—coordinating with Legal on client communication templates and monitoring branch implementation.

Earlier, at ProCredit Bank, I assessed SME and business clients through financial statement analysis and site visits, held individual lending authority of €500K, and supported projects related to defaulted exposures and third-party lending processes. I’ve also managed lending operations across multiple branches, coached teams through training, and strengthened internal controls through active identification and escalation of process irregularities.
