“Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.”― Alan LakeinI am a strategist visualising the future while in the present. This has led me to oversee a fund portfolio worth more than Euro 600m. I accomplish all of this because I am fearless, confident, engaging, have excellent leadership skills and I am a visionary with exemplary interpersonal skills. Over the years, I have exerted great effort to develop exemplary interpersonal skills which have enabled me to initiate and nurture relationships with key stakeholders including government, lenders and investors, both locally and internationally.I drive value and understand the trends shaping the future of finance, making me an excellent strategist.I am known to showcase an extraordinary ability to quickly identify external threats in the business environment, accurately predict their effects on the bottom line and swiftly initiate appropriate mitigation strategies. In this regard, I succeeded in steering the company through the economic turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic, making fundamental shifts to ensure survival and sustainability while retaining all members of staff.I have served on several boards where I influenced governance, improved turn around strategies and financial controls systems. I take pride in staying current with the latest financial information technology applications and seek to leave a positive lasting impact on communities and the people around me.I have an F.C.C.A. from Strathmore University, Kenya and hold a Master of Science in Financial Accounting from the University of the West of England, Bristol Business School, UK.
