Fisayo Banks-Alonge
HR Advisor
Leeds
Summary
I have markedly transited into the cloud services, focussing on Cloud Migration, DevOps, Solution Architecture, Security, Containerisation using Terraform and Big Data, leveraging on my ETL and application development experience. I am an experienced quality assessor and administrator who have dealt with all aspects of regulated complaint handling and dealing with complaint cases. In-depth understanding of Due Diligence and high risk customers, including PEPs, FCA regulations, KYC principles, Sanctions as well as AML regulations means that I am highly competent in applying it during reviews and renewals. I value strong attention to detail, adaptable interpersonal skills and sound problem solving including excellent communication. I bring with me enthusiasm, honesty, motivation and willingness to learn and grow in any given organization. My training, qualifications, cultural awareness, proven analytical & problem solving, communication skills and extensive history of working with top organizations, all contribute when completing tasks to the best of my abilities.
