As an Internal Account Executive with a focus on business credit products, I have honed my skills in financial analysis and customer relations. My experience at Sasfin Bank has equipped me with a deep understanding of the business credit sale life cycle, from lead conversion to cross-selling opportunities. I pride myself on maintaining strong relationships with clients while ensuring their financial needs are met through tailored solutions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed client onboarding processes and prepared credit applications, ensuring compliance with banking regulations. My dedication to customer service and sales has been recognized through multiple awards, including the 'Rising Star Award' at Sasfin. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive business growth and enhance client satisfaction.
