An enthusiastic and resourceful Relationship and Risk Manager with a strong collaborative and integrated mindset to deliver best-in-class solutions. Drawing on significant experience from the financial services and private equity markets, I enjoy effective risk management, negotiating, teamwork, problem solving, influencing and challenging stakeholders to deliver the right business outcomes.My career within Corporate and Commercial Banking in the UK, has seen me working with many first-class customers representing a broad spectrum of industries such as manufacturing, retail, pharmaceutical, dentists, engineering, retail, hospitality and leisure, telecommunications and software providing support and financial solutions to them all.A successful banking relationship isn't about selling products, rather the ability to listen and understand your customer’s needs. This approach takes one beyond the perimeters of traditional relationship banking and into the arena of being a trusted partner to the customer’s business. An important differentiator is the provision of this service in person; face to face interaction is even more vital in today’s market, as people buy from people. Developing strong, long-term customer relationships with a deep understanding of each business, allows me to support the growth ambitions of my customers. Embracing the advantages of technology and research unlocks many opportunities. Having the business development tools readily available not only provides my customers with the ability to enter new markets swiftly, but to do so having considered all associated risks, customs and trends.My career has always been in the financial services arena, having spent a few enjoyable years in portfolio management of a number of private equity investments for 3i Group plc. Strong relationship, sales and people management skills, the ability to embrace change and be creative in suggesting solutions, has served my customers well. Attention to detail, remaining highly strategic and entrepreneurial has delivered excellent results for both my customers and employers. First-class customer service is delivered confidently and with integrity. My approach to governance, risk management, credit risk, business development, coaching and general banking operations is no different, having successfully managed multi-million £ portfolios.I enjoy the dynamics of a multi-cultural environment, accounting for my technical analysis, robust documentation, communication and meticulous audit trail.Contact: garethburger@sky.com
