EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Professionalism, targets and exceeding customer expectation is of the utmost importance for
me to succeed in any institutions.
My many years of experience in banking and administration have enhanced my skills and
attributes to succeed in various organisations. I believe in client services; growing people and
delivering to stake holders. Tactfulness, positive behaviour and driven habits complimented
with the relevant experience and desire to self develop; make me continuously seek new
opportunities and challenges. I am a motivated, optimistic, positive and a passionate
individual who would like to grow within an institution. People, systems, processes and project
management has become an integral part of my daily duties.
Executing these tasks to the best of my ability has been acquired by research; trial and error
and the will to succeed. Taking on tasks with a holistic view and improving on negative
situations by constantly seeking opportunities, have become some of my most valuable
attributes. Due to our ever changing environment, process, procedures and regulations, I have
become accustomed to working with new information and different stakeholders regularly.
I am very enthused to move to a new position/challenge, which will lead to a managerial level
or a more senior role with more or different responsibilities. A new challenge would be an ideal
opportunity for my immediate career objectives.
