Monogram ConsultingPrincipal Consultant
Jan. 2022 - Mar. 2024South AfricaI have been consulting for the past 5 years in different roles. I have gained knowledge in the Fintech space, been involved in creating and testing bots, been involved in cybersecurity both from a testing and training perspective amongst other things.
I have been involved in building Internal Competency Education for the ISO 20022 implementation program. I have also been involved in the adoption phase, as the learning curve for the ISO 20022 can be steep and decisions on how Financial Institutions will implement the development and assisting the drawing up of a technical roadmap. I have drafted numerous BRS’s for ISO.
I have assisted Financial Institutions in the Go Live Phase -which a separate, coordinated training effort was needed across the enterprise when the migration needs to go live. I have over 20 years’ experience in the Financial industry. I am a go getter who has strong managerial and interpersonal skills. I work well in a team structure and am flexible and adaptable to change. I manage multiple priorities simultaneously. One of my key strengths is that I make decisions and solve problem by finding solutions. Some of my roles at Financial Institutions were heading up Compliance and Risk. In my role as head of Compliance, I gained the knowledge and understanding of how these complex areas operate, and the challenges that the business faces. Another role I performed was heading up Business Solutions and Research , which was exciting and challenging, as I was constantly looking at what the rest of the local and international banks were doing, where they were heading and what their landscape would look like in the future. Part of my research role was to assess the different industries we bank and evaluate the market in which we operate. I spent a considerable amount of time at current clients, and tailor make solutions or tweaked current service offerings for them to function seamlessly and efficiently, always ensuring they add value to our clients.
