Claire Ayesiga

A results-oriented professional with over 10 years of experience in sales, business development, credit and portfolio management, and client relationship leadership, primarily in the financial services sector. My strength lies in building high-performing teams, driving revenue growth, and turning around underperforming operations.

Over the years, I have led initiatives that transformed underachieving branches into top performers, improved customer retention, and significantly boosted loan portfolio quality. My experience includes managing trade finance products like LPO Finance, Invoice Finance, and Import/Contract Finance and ensuring product fit, compliance, and minimal risk exposure.

As a Senior Portfolio Manager, I’ve consistently met and exceeded sales and recovery targets by strategically analyzing portfolio performance and identifying new market opportunities. I bring a strong ability to balance risk and reward while focusing on sustainable growth.

I’m also passionate about people development. I’ve successfully coached and mentored team members, many of whom have gone on to become valuable assets in their respective roles. My leadership style combines accountability with empathy, and I foster a culture of performance, integrity, and customer-centricity.

Whether it’s launching new business units like a call center, leading frontline customer service teams, or representing my organization at industry events, I always approach each role with professionalism, innovation, and a drive to deliver lasting impact.
