What I'm looking for

I want to continue advancing operational quality and risk frameworks across international financial institutions, with a focus on operational excellence, quality assurance, and governance.

At Standard Chartered, I oversee quality assurance and sales governance across regional contact centre hubs. I introduced standardized call-back questionnaires and Sales Assurance manuals approved by legal authorities, helping maintain 100% adherence to risk frameworks.

I use data-driven calibration sessions and monthly dashboard reviews to align quality measures with organizational KPIs. This work has sustained First Contact Resolution above 85% and Net Promoter Scores over 80%.

As Senior Universal Banker at Standard Chartered, I led a team of eight and refined branch authorization protocols. We reduced transaction processing errors by 30% and improved turnaround time by 25%.

Earlier, I handled card production, branch banking, and customer support operations at Standard Chartered. Across these roles, I strengthened transaction controls, reconciliation accuracy, and client service, including processing monthly transactions exceeding $500,000 as a Universal Banker.
