What I'm looking for

I am seeking SME’s or growth focussed investors, who require a dedicated finance professional.

I am a seasoned Sales and Business Development Professional with extensive experience across finance, real estate, and product management. My career has been marked by a proven ability to enhance client relationships, drive strategic sales initiatives, and lead teams in implementing innovative solutions. I successfully ran a mortgage brokerage business and served as a buyer's agent, where I honed my skills in understanding client needs and delivering tailored financial solutions.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong track record in improving customer experiences and managing complex projects across various industries. My role as a Lending Adviser at Lending Association involved client consultations and developing partnerships to support business growth. I also excelled in product management at Novatti Group, where I led cross-functional teams to launch successful prepaid card programs, showcasing my ability to navigate the intersection of technology and finance.
