@otienoomondi
Lecturer and operations leader driving performance and strategic growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate educator and strategic operations leader with experience in governance, disaster management, and banking operations. I combine classroom instruction with hands-on operational leadership to deliver measurable performance improvements.
As an Assistant Lecturer I deliver lectures, supervise research, and design curricula that support student success while mentoring their academic and career development. In my academic work I have conducted research on governance and disaster management and presented findings at academic forums.
In branch operations I have driven compliance and service excellence, achieving strong gains: a 25% increase in retail and business performance, 30% improvement in employee performance metrics, and reductions in operational costs and staff turnover. I specialize in KYC/AML compliance, customer experience transformation, and team development.
I have also led customer service redesigns that produced a Net Promoter Score of 93% and substantial productivity and sales gains. I seek roles where I can merge teaching, strategic planning, and operations management to develop people and drive organizational impact.
