I build enterprise risk governance and operational risk programs for digital banking and financial institutions.
ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
At Jenius Bank, I matured enterprise and operational risk capabilities for a $2.3B digital bank, integrating 300 issues, 150 events, four self-assessments, 30 key risk indicators, and emerging-risk analysis into enterprise governance.
I've led executive governance routines, issue management, change management, operational risk events, third-party risk, and reputational risk programs across eight business units. I use executive dashboards, AI-enabled analytics, RPA, and scalable risk frameworks to strengthen oversight and decision-making.
At Wells Fargo, I modernized governance for a multi-billion-dollar transformation program, directed issue management and KRI development, and improved remediation timelines by 20%. I advised senior leaders through OCC examinations, regulatory responses, control evaluations, and enterprise remediation efforts.
My background also includes commercial banking, community banking compliance, BSA/AML, KYC, operational controls, and manufacturing operations. I bring a practical, data-driven approach to reducing risk exposure while helping leaders execute with confidence.
