Strategy and Business Projects Manager at Ecobank who launched Bancassurance and cut onboarding time by 50%.

Kenya
Message

At Ecobank Kenya, I helped launch the Bancassurance business by designing training and peer-mentoring programs for the incoming team. This reduced the onboarding learning curve by 50%; I also earned the Certificate of Proficiency in four months, shortening the project timeline by at least one year.

Across Ecobank roles, I worked on strategy formulation, business development, and project delivery, including consulting on EAC cluster operational strategy and creating a Bancassurance training module. Earlier, I managed credit and market risk at Ecobank (K) Ltd. and worked on credit analysis at Middle East Bank (K) Ltd.
