MauritiusWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced director and administrator with a strong background in operations, financial reporting, and team leadership across education and banking sectors. I lead strategic planning, enforce compliance, and implement systems that improve safety, continuity, and profitability.
My work history includes directing a multi-unit business where I set strategy and budgets, supervising managers, and coordinating online orders, and prior roles administering educational institutions where I managed enrollment, records, and daily operations.
I bring practical finance experience from a foreign trade banking role—handling forex positions, letters of credit, guarantees, SWIFT messaging, and reconciliations—combined with strong communication, organizational, and people-management skills.
