Message

At International Business Solutions Group, I coordinate leadership priorities across 30+ active and pipeline projects. I built a centralised Excel dashboard to show milestones, responsibilities and outstanding actions, and established weekly stakeholder follow-up that resolved 60% of identified communication, ownership and tracking gaps.

Previously, at Standard Chartered Bank Ghana, I worked across control, governance and credit documentation. I built document-management and tracking systems, supported due diligence and audit work, and maintained sensitive client records with no recorded documentation errors across three consecutive years.
