What I'm looking for

I am looking for a job that offers a dynamic work environment, promotes access to education, and provides opportunities for career growth. I value company culture, specific responsibilities, and the chance to make a positive impact.

I am an experienced professional with a strong background in education and trade finance operations( Bank Guarantees and Letters of Credit (LCs). Throughout my career, I have gained extensive knowledge and skills in mentorship, public speaking, trade operations, bill discounting, lending, and computer skills such as Ms Word, Ms Excel, Ms Access, Ms Powerpoint, and Typing Master. I have a proven track record of success in organizing career talks and educational seminars, raising funds for underprivileged students, and liaising with schools to support young mothers in the education system. I am skilled in preparing reports, managing marketing teams, and providing excellent client and people management.

In my previous role as the Head of Corporate Banking and Trade Finance Department at The Co-operative Bank of Kenya Ltd, I successfully oversaw the day-to-day operations of the department, headed the marketing of trade finance products, and managed the cash transfer product to support girls' education projects. I have also gained experience in handling import and export letters of credit, documentary collections, and guarantees. I am adept at advising clients on technical international trade transactions and providing training to staff and stakeholders.

I am a results-oriented professional with excellent problem-solving, negotiation, teamwork, and communication skills. I am passionate about promoting access to education, especially for the underprivileged, and I am seeking a challenging role in a dynamic work environment where I can apply my knowledge and skills to make a positive impact.
