Biography

Philip is from Ghana and studied MSc International Business and Finance in our School of Business, graduating in 2020

About Philip

I am a Credit Risk Management expert with a great passion for managing credit exposures to risk through financial statements' analysis, client due diligence, credit limit monitoring and collateralization. I have over 7 years of experience in the Ghanaian banking industry and active involvement in Credit Risk Policy formulation at various levels coupled with varied stakeholder deliberations. My hobbies include swimming, playing console games, reading and swimming.

Anything to help humanity excites me and catches my attention thus I would greatly love to some time to come work with the United Nations, World Bank or any of its arms or any institution with the work of humanitarianism at heart. That’s my dream.

Reason for becoming an Alumni Ambassador

I have a great passion for the University of Dundee. I have many heart-touching stories of the city and the school which I don’t mind sharing anytime and anywhere thus I would do anything for the university with the least being an Alumni Ambassador.

I am able to hold organic, one-on-one conversations tailored to the need of each individual alumnus I talk to having in mind the varying needs and specialised wants of several alumni irrespective of the programme of study in Dundee. I am always ready to strike up a dynamic and personal conversation with every colleague.

Additionally, I am a team player and extremely skilled at organising people and the relationships I create with people are long-lasting and built out of trust which is a key responsibility of an Alumni Ambassador. I am also a strong leader who lends a helping hand to people, particularly in an alumni community where linkages and professional referrals are required.
