I am a relationship manager driving revenue growth and client retention.
What I'm looking for
I am a client-focused, results-driven relationship manager with over six years of progressive experience in retail and commercial banking, delivering tailored financial solutions to individuals, SMEs and corporate clients. I specialize in managing high-value accounts and driving deposit and revenue growth.
I have a strong record of measurable impact: increasing client portfolios by over 35% within six months, driving 42% deposit growth in 60 days, contributing 85% to branch FY2023 deposit growth, boosting cross-sell ratios, and reducing overdue credit obligations by 60% through targeted recovery strategies.
My professional approach blends financial advisory, credit assessment, strategic planning and stakeholder engagement with hands-on branch operations and sales leadership. I collaborate across compliance, credit and operations teams to ensure smooth service delivery, regulatory adherence and sustained portfolio quality.
I hold industry certifications and continuing training in banking and analytics and am committed to using data-informed insights, coaching and service excellence to deepen client relationships, expand market share and support organisational growth.
