What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior roles where I can lead strategy, risk, audit or transformation initiatives in a values-driven organization focused on governance, growth and operational excellence.

I am a seasoned banking executive with deep expertise in strategy, risk, internal audit, compliance and organizational transformation. With progressive leadership roles at a major Ethiopian bank — including Chief Advisor to the CEO, Vice President Strategy & Transformation, VP Information Systems, Director of Risk & Compliance and Director of Internal Audit — I drive governance, performance improvement and operational excellence.

I hold an MBA in General Management and a BA in Management, and I have completed numerous executive trainings in corporate governance, IFRS, AML/CFT, strategic leadership and IT audit. I deliver measurable results in strategy formulation, policy development, resource mobilization and cross-functional change initiatives while mentoring teams and strengthening control frameworks.
