What I'm looking for

I am seeking a treasury/ALM role where I can manage currency exposure, optimize liquidity, drive profitability, and work in a collaborative, compliance-focused environment with opportunities for strategic impact.

I am an ALM Currency Dealer and treasury professional with extensive experience managing currency risk, optimizing asset-liability positions, and executing trades to enhance financial performance. I combine strong forecasting, deal structuring, and relationship management skills to identify market opportunities and support institutional growth.

At United Bank for Africa Plc I managed AFS and HTM portfolios, executed securities and FX trades, reconciled CBN/RTGS statements, and prepared ALCO, money market, and performance reports that aided income objectives. I also developed contingency funding plans and performed stress-testing to safeguard liquidity under adverse conditions.

Previously I advanced through branch operations roles — from Bank Teller and Cash Officer to Customer Service Specialist and Supervisor, Customer Data Management — where I improved process efficiency, prevented fraud, implemented automation that halved manual processing time, and received recognition for customer service.

I hold an MBA (Finance & Investment), a B.Sc. in Accounting Education, and an ACI Dealing Certificate (Financial Markets Association). I am committed to regulatory compliance, meticulous record-keeping, and collaborative alignment of trading strategies with broader financial goals.
