This role proved to be one of the most fulfilling and joyful experiences of my professional career. I was exposed to projects on a global level and found myself working with experts from all over the globe including Barclays UK and Barclays India in an attempt to solve their frustrations in terms of messaging. My key performance drivers included;Strategy, Innovation, Current platform enhancements, Daily functional responsibilities. The sheer size of Absa ensured that I was continuously approached by different business units, each of which has a unique messaging requirement, be it email, email, sms and /or mms. In less than 1yr I grew Absa messaging from roughly 20m messages per month to current figures of over 60m messages per month. 40m of which are revenue generating messages (value added services). I was tasked with maintaining relationships between Absa and the various Mobile Network Operators (Cell C, MTN, Vodacom) as to ensure that: Our Notify Me services returned the highest levels of deliverability. In October of 2008, I launched Absa’s new mobile USSD solution called CB MAX. In the first 2 weeks of launch we exceeded 35 000 customer registrations. The service enables clients to: Request Account Balances, Request Mini-Statements, Purchase Pre-Paid Airtime. This service is viewed as the major financial contributor. I also ran Project Lotto initiative. Show less
