Results-oriented finance professional with expertise in data analytics.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented finance professional with over 8 years of experience in the financial services sector. My expertise lies in data analytics, process optimization, and fraud risk management, where I have consistently delivered value and supported customers in fast-paced environments. I pride myself on being resourceful and customer-focused, with a proven ability to manage complex projects and develop success metrics that ensure measurable outcomes.
In my recent role as a Senior Fraud Analyst at Nationwide Building Society, I served as the primary point of contact for customers, utilizing SQL to analyze fraud cases and large datasets, which significantly decreased losses. I led data analysis projects that informed fraud risk management strategies and created performance dashboards that supported risk-adjusted decision-making. My efforts contributed to a 12% improvement in decision timelines and produced quarterly reports that informed risk policy actions.
With a Master of Finance degree from the University of Dundee, where I graduated with distinction and received the Best Graduating Student Award, I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth. I am eager to leverage my skills in a challenging role that allows me to contribute to impactful financial strategies and enhance customer success.
