Summary
With over 25 years of experience in credit operations and management, my skills in optimizing credit extensions and ensuring compliance with legal regulations have been finely honed. Throughout my career, I have consistently maintained low Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and have closely collaborated with sales teams to drive growth and achieve exceptional results. The instrumental factors behind my success lie in my expertise in data analysis, problem-solving, and effective client communication. As I look to the future, I am eager to leverage my experience and skills in a new role where I can continue making a significant impact in the field.
