What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead operational strategy, compliance, workflow automation, and financial product initiatives where I can use data-driven reporting and cross-functional leadership to improve efficiency and support business growth.

I'm currently driving operational workflows, compliance, and financial product development at Venus Finance Ltd, including asset-backed financing and school fees loan programs.

I've led digital transaction and approval workflows using Microsoft Teams and Power Automate, while delivering sales trackers, organograms, and financial performance dashboards for executive decision-making. I also spearhead Road Show campaigns across metropolitan Abuja to expand client acquisition.

Across Zenith Bank roles, I've supervised funds-transfer workflows, maintained AML, SWIFT, and Central Bank of Nigeria compliance, led cross-departmental initiatives, and managed high-volume cash operations. I bring over 10 years of financial services, administrative strategy, and operational leadership experience.
