What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, encourages strategic decision-making, and values innovation in treasury operations.

I am an experienced Treasury Operations Specialist with over six years of proven success in financial markets and international trade operations. My expertise lies in making timely, data-driven decisions and consistently enhancing treasury processes to drive efficiency and mitigate risk. I possess a deep understanding of cash and liquidity management, trade finance, and market operations, complemented by strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Currently, I serve as a Treasury Operations Manager at Citibank N.A. Kenya, where I lead daily cash flow forecasting and variance analysis, enabling strategic liquidity planning and optimal resource allocation. My proactive mindset and detail-oriented approach have allowed me to implement significant improvements, such as an Intraday Liquidity Management System and the successful migration to the CBK DHOWCSD system, enhancing operational efficiency and compliance.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to optimizing financial performance and contributing to strategic growth. I thrive in high-pressure, fast-paced environments and am dedicated to delivering tailored solutions that enhance decision-making and drive process improvements.
