What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers strategic challenges and opportunities for growth in finance and operations.

As a Senior Manager at Universal Assets Bank, I oversee all facets of operations and finance, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and optimizing financial performance. My role involves strategic planning, financial reporting, and process improvement, which are crucial for the bank's operational success.

Previously, I served as Head of Finance and Advisor at STC PAY, where I assisted in strategic planning and financial decision-making. My experience spans across various roles in finance and operations, including managing cross-functional teams and liaising with regulators and auditors to ensure compliance and operational efficiency.

With a strong background in governance, risk management, and internal audit, I am committed to driving organizational success through effective financial management and strategic insights. I hold professional qualifications as a Chartered Management Accountant and a Certified Forensic Expert, which enhance my ability to navigate complex financial landscapes.
