What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to leverage my economic expertise to drive impactful business decisions and contribute to strategic growth.

I am an accomplished economist with over five years of experience in growth and development, specializing in applying complex economic theories to real-world situations. My strong understanding of business finance and economic planning has enabled me to effectively interpret data and predict market behavior. I possess excellent communication skills, allowing me to work collaboratively or independently while delivering impactful insights.

In my recent role as an Economist at the Zimbabwe Evidence Informed Policy Network, I successfully predicted future market behavior by analyzing extensive client data and conducting in-depth economic analyses of policy initiatives. My recommendations to the Board of Directors have been instrumental in shaping strategic decisions. Prior to this, I worked as an International Consultant at Moore Stephens IFI, where I managed the development of market research reports and performed detailed financial analyses to support business strategies.

My academic background includes an MSc in Economics from the University of Zimbabwe, where I am currently enrolled, and a BSc (Hons) in Economics and Finance from the University of Mauritius. I have a proven track record of securing significant investments and enhancing financial returns through strategic analysis and market opportunity identification.
