I’m an executive assistant focused on combining C-suite support with finance and analytical acumen. I prioritize executive calendars, coordinate high-impact projects, and turn operational data into insights that improve decision-making.

In my most recent role as an Executive Assistant at Xpress Payment Solution Ltd, I improved MD-level analytical reporting for transaction volumes, revenue collection, agency banking, and operational metrics. I built structured dashboards in Excel/Power BI to monitor KPIs like transaction success rate and customer growth rate, and I prepared board-level briefs and performance decks.

Previously at Wema Bank Plc, I supported a Regional Manager by organizing 50+ meetings monthly and anticipating executive and organizational needs. I coordinated regional events and quarterly reviews with timely delivery, streamlined document retrieval systems to reduce search time by 20%, and prepared daily, monthly, and quarterly performance analysis that contributed to a 40% growth in deposit and a 20% increase in transactions.

I also bring strong financial operations experience from earlier roles, including issuing and managing 100+ invoices monthly, administering payroll for 5 employees, and reconciling discrepancies to prepare key financial statements with high accuracy. My approach is grounded in people management, stakeholder communication, emotional intelligence, and reliable, data-driven reporting.
