What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration within a forward-thinking company.

I am an eager-to-learn and self-motivated professional with extensive experience in strategic management consulting, corporate FX dealing, and business development. My background in finance, economics, and renewable energy investments has equipped me with a unique perspective on the mechanics behind company growth and technology integration.

Throughout my career, I have successfully executed foreign exchange transactions for corporate clients, providing tailored solutions to meet their specific needs. My role at Currency Partners has allowed me to develop strong relationships with clients while monitoring global currency markets to identify trading opportunities. I am driven by a proactive attitude and a commitment to delivering exceptional service.

In addition to my FX dealing experience, I have worked in project management and business development, where I developed strategic project plans and achieved project deadlines through effective coordination. My analytical skills and attention to detail have consistently contributed to the success of my projects, and I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive growth and innovation in the finance sector.
