What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in business development where I can leverage my expertise to drive growth and enhance client relationships.

I am a seasoned business development executive with over two decades of experience in the banking and finance sector. My career has been marked by a consistent track record of developing and managing high-value portfolios, particularly in private banking and corporate banking. I have successfully led teams, driven revenue growth, and cultivated strong relationships with high-net-worth clients, ensuring exceptional service delivery and compliance with regulatory standards.

Throughout my tenure, I have held various leadership roles, including Senior Manager at Ceridian, where I managed a team of over 50 resources, and Senior Business Development Executive at Quantum Insurance and Fundkiss. My ability to identify new business opportunities and adapt to industry trends has been pivotal in achieving departmental objectives and enhancing customer satisfaction. I am currently pursuing an MBA in International Business to further enhance my strategic management skills.
