What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth, ideally in a dynamic environment focused on compliance and operational excellence.

With over 13 years of dedicated experience in the financial industry, I have honed my skills in managing branch banking operations and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. My journey has taken me through pivotal managerial roles where I have led both branch and centralized operations, demonstrating my expertise in risk management and banking dynamics.

Currently, I serve as the Manager of the Policy and Procedure Department at The Punjab Provincial Cooperative Bank, where I spearhead strategic initiatives and drive growth. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to navigate complex operations with precision, ensuring that our banking practices not only meet but exceed industry standards.
