What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my relationship management skills in a dynamic environment, focusing on strategic advisory and client success.

I am a commercially astute relationship manager with over 7 years of experience in B2B sales and client success within the commercial and corporate banking sectors. My expertise lies in managing client lifecycles and building strong relationships with C-level stakeholders, delivering tailored financial solutions that drive business growth. I have a proven track record of exceeding performance targets, including achieving over 300% of my deal quota at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led deposit growth initiatives, streamlined operations, and enhanced client onboarding processes, ensuring compliance with financial regulations. My ability to prepare and present strategic plans to global leaders has positioned me as a trusted advisor, fostering long-term partnerships and driving revenue growth. I am now seeking an opportunity to leverage my expertise in relationship management and strategic advisory to help businesses optimize their financial operations and achieve long-term success.
