What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining client relationship growth and operational excellence in a collaborative, compliant environment with clear pathways for professional development.

I am a results-driven professional combining banking relationship management with engineering and occupational safety expertise, committed to delivering client-centric solutions and improving operational performance. I have a First Class BSc in Petroleum Engineering and NEBOSH certification, and I apply analytical rigor, CMMS experience, and strong communication to reduce costs and manage projects effectively.

In my current role as Relationship Officer at FirstBank Ghana I manage and grow client portfolios while ensuring regulatory compliance; previously I administered CMMS at Schlumberger and supported safety programs and training, leading initiatives that improved safety compliance and resource monitoring.
