Summary

As a highly motivated and results-driven professional, I am eager to transition into a finance sales role where I can combine my analytical expertise with a strong commercial mindset. My experience as a Business Analyst has honed my ability to communicate effectively with stakeholders, present data-driven insights, and manage complex projects, all of which are crucial in a sales-driven environment. Additionally, my background in financial analysis, developed through my studies and experience at Allianz AGCS, has given me a foundation in understanding financial analysis and market dynamics. I am passionate about building relationships, identifying client needs, and delivering tailored financial solutions, and I am keen to leverage these skills to drive business growth in a finance-focused sales role.
