What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior-level role where I can leverage my credit risk, KYC/AML, and compliance expertise to strengthen risk controls, improve onboarding outcomes, and lead teams with measurable, data-driven results.

I’m a motivated, results-driven professional with over 15 years of experience in credit risk management, client onboarding, compliance, and team leadership within the banking sector. At Standard Chartered Bank Kenya, I consistently delivered high performance, including a CEO Leadership Award, and helped maintain zero compliance violations by tightening adherence to KYC/CDD and regulatory requirements throughout onboarding.

I led daily onboarding operations for SME and corporate clients, streamlined client onboarding procedures to reduce turnaround times, and partnered cross-functionally with Legal, Compliance, and Risk to strengthen risk controls. I also developed and validated credit risk models—conducting stress testing and scenario analysis—and implemented new CDD systems as Team Leader, while coaching teams through training and awareness sessions. Outside banking, I founded and scaled Soteria Enterprises using digital marketing and built structured training programs as a training consultant, reflecting my commitment to disciplined execution, measurable outcomes, and people development.
