Summary
Dynamic professional with extensive experience in both the corporate realm, spending approximately 13 years in banking and the services sector, working casually in security for more than 20 years. This has given me broad skill set and easily adaptable approach to different work environments. Starting at the bottom in both roles, I proved highly capable and reliable which lead to career growth. I have a proven track record in team leadership, fostering stakeholder relationships and product training, maintaining a pragmatic and professional approach in all situations.
