What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead collections and operations in a KPI-driven fintech or financial services environment—strengthening compliance, recovery performance, and customer success through process optimization, clear reporting, and effective stakeholder communication.

I’m a results-driven collections and operations professional with 7+ years of experience in debt recovery, customer account management, compliance coordination, and portfolio performance management. I manage delinquent portfolios, negotiate repayment solutions, and improve recovery performance in KPI-driven environments.

As Director – Compliance, Strategy & Operations at Mobara Property Management (Coast) Ltd, I lead operational execution, collections strategy, and compliance oversight for regional receivables portfolios. I monitor recovery performance, workflow efficiency, and operational reporting metrics, while coordinating communication between clients, legal teams, and internal stakeholders.

Previously as Operations Manager at Mwobara Property Management Ltd, I managed day-to-day collections operations across multiple client portfolios and supervised 15+ staff members. I implemented process improvements that increased productivity by 25%, while overseeing reporting, payment follow-ups, customer communication, and operational coordination.

Earlier, as a Debt Collection Officer, I managed delinquent receivables through phone, email, and written communication—negotiating repayment plans compliantly and achieving a 30% reduction in outstanding balances and a 40% improvement in recovery success rates. Throughout my roles, I’ve prioritized remote communication, CRM systems, clear documentation, and handling sensitive financial information with discretion and professionalism.
