I have 17 years of broad financial, management and operational experience including managing large teams and managing income statements in excess of R2bn in headline earnings. For the last 10 years I have filled Executive positions, spanning various roles and segments including being appointed as the COO for commercial banking (Standard Bank) and financial director for business banking (Standard Bank). I also headed up the consolidation of all the measurement, insights, analytics and data science areas in the retail and business bank. My experience spans across various functions including finance, operations, data insights and analytics, MIS, segment management, product management and relationship management. More recently I worked at a fintech company as the global head of their capital interface function. I am an adaptive individual with strong commercial acumen. I am a logical thinker who likes to unpack problems through asking relevant questions. I believe one of my core skills is the ability to work with diverse groups of people and provide guidance to bring out the best in individuals. I am experienced in working with the business at hand to define and more importantly, implement the strategy to drive improved profitability. I am a firm believer in the fact that good implementation is a key driver to success. Despite a large proportion of my career having been in banking, this experience has exposed me to many diverse businesses and industries, and I believe my skills are therefore highly relevant outside of banking. I am looking for opportunities where I can use my commercial acumen and my people skills to assist a business with reaching its full potential.
