About

I am a business and operations professional with over a decade of experience in the financial services sector, with expertise in client relationship management, strategic execution and business growth. I previously served as a Business Manager at Oak Pensions Ltd., where I strengthened client relationships, improved retention and contributed to organizational performance. I am currently pursuing an advanced degree in Production Engineering, specializing in Project Management and Development (PMD). My research focuses on risk and uncertainty analysis in project networks, developing a milestone-based adaptive control approach to support more reliable project forecasting and informed decision-making under uncertainty. I combine industry experience with analytical research, bringing a practical, results-oriented perspective to complex challenges. My interests include project risk management, decision analytics, simulation modeling and applying research to improve project performance and organizational decision-making.
