What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in banking operations or compliance where I can strengthen controls, reduce risk, and drive customer-focused operational excellence.

I am a banker with 10 years of experience specializing in banking operations, customer relationship management, internal controls, compliance, fraud detection and prevention, and risk management.

As Head of Operations, I coordinated quality banking services across branch networks, oversaw account openings, monitored EFT, cheque and foreign clearing, and provided technical guidance to teams to drive customer retention and business growth.

In branch leadership roles I ensured strict adherence to KYC and AML policies, led operational compliance and reconciliations, investigated fraud and loss cases, and delivered on performance targets as Acting Branch Manager and Customer Service Manager.

I hold a Master of Science in Procurement and Supply Chain Management and multiple professional certifications in regulatory compliance, risk management, cybersecurity awareness, and finance, which I apply to strengthen controls and operational efficiency.
