What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a senior operations leadership role where I can optimize processes, strengthen governance and controls, improve operational resilience, and align people, processes, and technology to support sustainable business growth.

I've led risk, compliance, internal controls, and business operations at Comsys Ghana, SanlamAllianz Life Insurance Ghana, and Allianz Insurance Company of Ghana. My work strengthens governance, regulatory readiness, and operational resilience across insurance, manufacturing, academia, and aviation.

At Comsys Ghana, I oversee business process management, risk and compliance, stores and inventory, logistics, and procurement. I streamlined workflows, strengthened controls, and led Sage Inventory Management System implementation, creating a centralized inventory database and improving operational visibility, audit readiness, and coordination across functions.

I've built enterprise risk frameworks, maintained risk registers, led regulatory engagements, and reported to senior management, boards, and audit committees. I also train teams in compliance, AML/CFT, data protection, ethics, finance, leadership, and quantitative methods.
