What I'm looking for

I'm looking to use my banking, corporate finance and deal-making acumen to enhance shareholder value through strategic leadership, transaction execution, risk management and sustainable revenue growth.

I've built my career across FNB Debtor Finance, Absa Capital, Barclays Capital and SizweNtsalubaGobodo, working across debtor finance, transaction management, product control and audit. As a CA(SA), I bring financial, analytical and strategic acumen to complex banking and financial-services environments.

Most recently, I sourced and structured working-capital funding deals at FNB Debtor Finance, presenting credit applications to committee and managing client facilities from initiation through exit. I focus on revenue growth, acceptable risk returns, portfolio management and stakeholder relationships while pursuing an MCom in Development Finance.
