What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles driving commercial growth and operational efficiency in cross-functional teams, focused on measurable revenue and governance outcomes.

I am a results-driven executive with deep experience translating operational and market data into commercial strategies that drive revenue and efficiency. I have led organizational transitions from informal structures to formal departmental models and designed cross-functional processes that reduced processing time by 35% and cut overheads by 18%.

Across oil & gas and financial services, I secured and managed extensive B2B contracts, growing commercial sales volumes and maintaining a 95% client retention rate. My background in audit and control underpins a strong record in financial governance, regulatory compliance, and risk reduction, including 100% successful external audit clearance and a 25% reduction in operational risk losses.

I lead cross-functional teams to embed strategy into operations through SOPs and institutional architecture, driving measurable improvements in collaboration, efficiency, and revenue growth. I am available for relocation and bring strong cross-cultural and international work readiness to new roles.
