I am a retail banker and credit professional with over 13 years' experience in consumer banking, credit monitoring, risk assessment and digital lending. I specialize in growing deposit and loan portfolios, recovering non-performing loans, and driving digital product adoption.
My career highlights include leading digital onboarding initiatives, securing county-level MOUs to expand lending, and achieving significant reductions in NPLs and PAR through targeted recovery strategies. I have managed teams, mentored and promoted sales executives, and delivered measurable portfolio growth.
I work best in results-driven environments where I can apply my relationship management, negotiation and analytical skills to improve financial performance, scale digital channels, and strengthen partnerships with parastatals, government agencies and corporate clients.
