What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for growth.

I am an experienced Project Development Lead with over 5 years of expertise in managing full project life cycles across diverse cultural and business environments. My proficiency in customer service delivery and stakeholder coordination has enabled me to handle high-volume transactions and service requests while adhering to strict turnaround times (TAT). I have a proven track record of aligning operations with company policies, supporting accounts documentation, and collaborating effectively with business partners and outsourced teams.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong skills in marketing support, risk management, and cross-functional communication. My technical knowledge of engineering and operations, combined with my commitment to compliance and organizational discipline, has allowed me to successfully direct over 10 engineering and business projects. I pride myself on maintaining zero-discrepancy records and ensuring efficient resolution of queries, which has significantly contributed to the overall success of the projects I have managed.
