About me
With 15+ years of proven experience spanning financial operations, assurance, back office support, financial control and reporting, strategic financial analysis, and auditing; and proven results in designing and implementing strategy roadmaps, I am confident that my diverse skills and qualifications will make me an asset.
I am very adept at leading and driving teams on developing and implementing strategic financial and operational processes and systems while delivering business results, with cost reduction and profit maximization in mind.
In my current role as Head of Fund Operations, I currently provide leadership and oversight to a team of 15 in driving the team’s overall operational strategic direction and ensuring all operational activities align accordingly. With my exceptional leadership and business-savvy skills, I have successfully created and implemented seamless and creative operational solutions which have contributed significantly to easing customer transaction processes, and have increased cost savings and business revenues whilst mitigating financial losses as a result of operational errors. I have also successfully trained, coached, and mentored team members on optimizing service and operational processes using Lean Sigma processes.
In previous roles, I also contributed significantly to mitigating huge financial losses by successfully implementing and enhancing operational and cost savings processes.
My well-grounded finance educational background has also greatly honed my skills and has been very instrumental to my career accomplishments as a Finance professional. I am also an affiliate of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) with an MBA in General Management, BSC in Economics, and HND in Banking and Finance.
