Summary

“If you are afraid to fail, then you should go and become a banker”
--Yossi Vardi
I’m a relationship manager with 9+ years of professional experience in banking sector. I have strong background in managing client relationships, business development, driving top-performing sales team and working in diverse area of retail, corporate and Islamic banking and have been recognized with several awards during my career.

Until recently, I have got sound exposure to managing diverse financial products (such as Current & Savings account, fixed deposits, Insurance, Mutual Fund, Personal Loan, Home Loan etc). In this role I was focused on B2B sales strategies, although I have done extensive B2C work in the past. Successes included winning campaign in 2017, 2016 and awarded as best relationship manager that generated 200MM growth. Previous experience includes awarded as best relationship manager in Nib Bank.

Colleagues know me as a highly creative Banker who can always be trusted to come up with a new approach. But I know that the client’s business comes first, and I never try to impose my ideas on others. Instead, I spend a lot of time understanding the banking and the audience before suggesting ideas. I can (and often do) work well alone, but I’m at my best collaborating with others.

My MBA is continuing with Anglia Ruskin University UK and a B.Com from the University of Punjab Pakistan.

I’m currently pursue new opportunities and can be reached either through this profile or by phone at +966545978599
