To whom it may concern,
I thank you for giving me the opportunity to submit my credentials for your observation and consideration.
Ever since my working career’s inception, I have tried to embrace the opportunities and challengers that set before me.
I am a dynamic hands on leader with the ability to lead by example and do what it takes to
“Get the job done“
A good communicator with the ability to interact with peers, clients, as well as internal and external stakeholders at various levels of influence.
Professional experience totalling 16 years with the financial industry in retail and head office sector both of which being management and consulting senior levels.
Knowledgeable of drafting and maintaining compliance policies but also have a strong decision making, analytic, and investigative skills needed to correctly analyse information to identify potential issues. As a true professional I am able to demonstrate sound judgement and apply logical and critical thought processes when developing and recommending operational risk and compliance related issues.
During my past employment I have learnt how to effectively manage risk and compliance activities within a department.
At work I am primarily responsible for managing the regulatory risks and controls of the business to ensure they comply with applicable laws and regulations. I was involved in participating in the analysis of operational procedures.
Right now I want to work in a company like yours that offers excellent compensation and benefits package.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my application.
Regards
Feiona
