What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role leveraging audit and risk expertise to strengthen controls, lead teams, drive automation, and support governance in a collaborative, growth-focused organization.

I am a results-driven audit and risk management leader with over 15 years' experience across banking and corporate environments, specializing in internal audit, enterprise risk frameworks, IT audit, investigations, and financial controls. At Kenya Airways I led operations audit and risk, acted as Head of Internal Audit and Secretary to the Board Audit and Risk Committee, and drove automation, robust reporting, and implementation tracking of audit recommendations.

I hold an MBA (Finance) and CPA credentials and bring strong analytical, communication and mentoring skills to build high-performing teams and strengthen governance. I consistently deliver timely, practical recommendations to improve controls, data integrity, operational efficiency and compliance while collaborating across departments to embed sustainable risk management practices.
