What I'm looking for

I’m looking for remote sales opportunities where strong relationship-building and a data-led, self-directed approach to pipeline generation drive measurable results. I want a role that rewards consultative selling, client education, and consistent target achievement.

I’m a results-driven sales and client relationship professional with 7+ years of experience driving revenue growth, customer acquisition, and deposit/asset mobilisation across banking and financial services. I consistently exceed targets through prospecting, referrals, and consultative selling to individuals, business owners, and diaspora clients.

As a Financial Advisor (Independent) at Britam Holdings PLC, I build and manage a self-sourced portfolio across the USA, UK, and Middle East, delivering long-term client conversion through needs-based advice. I generate qualified leads and nurture pipeline remotely using a data-driven LinkedIn content strategy, then simplify complex financial concepts to improve trust and close rates.

Previously, as a Relationship Officer at Equity Bank Limited and UBA Group, I grew customer deposits, expanded wallet share through cross-selling, and supported digitisation initiatives that improved onboarding and self-service adoption. I also strengthen client education through financial literacy training, because I believe better understanding builds stronger, lasting relationships.
