With a strong background in both retail and finance, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to drive business growth and deliver exceptional results.

Leveraging my expertise in digital marketing, I expanded the customer base and reached a wider audience, contributing to the overall success of the business.

During my tenure as a Financial Analyst at Exxon Mobil, I managed a large portfolio of multi-currency bank accounts and implemented effective cash concentration strategies, resulting in a 30% reduction in borrowing and a 5% increase in interest income within the first year. I played a key role in improving process control and business operations by working with external auditors and integrating controls in-house. Additionally, I provided valuable financial analysis and supported the Investment Management team with liquidity analysis and investment memoranda.

As a Relationship Officer at Zenith Bank Plc, I successfully managed customer relationships, driving increased profitability and customer retention for a new bank branch. I actively promoted the adoption of electronic banking products and ensured accurate execution of numerous FX transactions and capital importation, significantly enhancing the team's productivity.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in fostering collaboration and team growth. I actively participated as a collaborative team player in the Store Management team, contributing to sales growth and delivering exceptional customer service. Additionally, I served as a Co-President of Women in Business, creating opportunities and providing information to foster an entrepreneurial mindset among women in my cohort. Volunteering with LIFT UBC Sauder, I mentored startups in Africa and established a youth empowerment opportunity focused on fashion and sewing skills.
