What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Sr. Manager of Global Credit & Collections with a strong track record of optimizing financial processes and enhancing cash flow.

My role involves collaborating with key stakeholders across the globe, including financial institutions and business executives, to ensure timely payments and mitigate credit risks.
My educational background includes an MBA from Columbia University, which complements my extensive experience in credit risk analysis and collections management. I have been recognized with multiple awards, including the Top Collector Award from Discover Bank, highlighting my ability to improve cash positions and maintain strong relationships with clients. I believe that effective communication and understanding the underlying reasons for payment delays are crucial in the collections process, and I strive to empower my team to excel in these areas.
