What I'm looking for

I’m seeking senior roles in risk, audit, or compliance where I can lead teams, strengthen controls, drive remediation, work across diverse sectors, and continue professional growth in a collaborative, learning-focused environment.

I am a Senior Risk Consultant with extensive experience in corporate auditing, risk management, and compliance. I evaluate and test the effectiveness of controls, conduct thorough risk assessments, and ensure adherence to internal policies and external regulations.

During a three-month secondment to EY Germany I collaborated with Henkel Global Corporate Audit on a general audit in Kenya, reviewing fixed assets, social standards, and treasury management. I communicated risks and control issues, developed remediation plans, and reported findings to audit leads and management.

At EY Kenya I have led risk assessments and internal audits across manufacturing, healthcare, asset management, connectivity, real estate, investment, and insurance sectors, acting as lead risk consultant on multiple engagements. I have led QAIP for a government internal audit team and performed quarterly risk and compliance audits for asset managers.

Previously I held operational roles at Solar Panda where I maintained a zero-error stock management rate, trained field agents on the ERP system, and delivered strong customer service. I hold a Bachelor of Economics & Statistics and am pursuing the Global Institute of Internal Auditors CRMA certification.
