Excellent learning curve
My typical work day consisted of starting work at 7:30, started with reading emails, then whatever I had planned for the day. If there was work that needed to be done urgently for my manager, I would prioritise that. I had a great working relationship with most of my co-workers. We worked very well together, no matter how much pressure there was. I learnt that it is very important to build networks in any organisation, build good relationships with the suppliers and be able to mitigate any problems. I enjoyed being on my toes the whole time I was with Standard Chartered Bank, there was never a moment where there was time to sit around and not do anything. The most challenging aspects of the job was the restriction to access and approval for access, it normally took very long and that made my job difficult. however I was able to work around the challenges and get my work done with the help of my co-workers.
Pros: There was very little micro management, which gave me room to grow, make mistakes and be able to fix them.
Cons: There were too many restrictions, including access to systems that I needed in order to do my work effectively and efficiently.

Client implementation monitoring and tracking
It all about day to day monitoring implementation projects for electronic Banking, and ensuring that all issues logged are correctly followed till resolution and constant client feed back is given . I enjoy client interactions and sales pitches and solution reviews, project delivery. I have learnt that more listening leads to more solution options for various clients. The most challenging bit is the various stakeholders I have to deal with in just one deal and making sure all these are brought together at one way for same goal and work together for same goal, having to craft solutions for various clients with different business challenges
Pros: continuous learning
Cons: difficult moments with internal stakeholders

Learning Curve
Dynamic environment jam packed with daily challenges and regulatory curve balls. High intensity practical and logical thinking and an detailed analysis of facts and financial statements, together with adverse media and reputional risk consideration. Working with international stakeholders and expected to have all level liaison skills. Building relationships through trust and responsiveness. I have learned to think on my feet and roll with the punches. Never to assume anything and to be diligent when executing responsibilities as mistakes could lead to regulatory scrutiny and fines, not to mention reputational cost to the company. Enjoy the intensity of the work as well as the challenge to perform to the best of my abilities. In addition to develop new and cutting edge solutions to business dilemma's.
Pros: Great opportunity to obtain more comprehensive compliance knowledge as opposed to specialist
Cons: Regular travelling
