About Me

my name is Tom Benshak Maxwell, I have had the longest of  my experiences in the banking sector from banking operations to customer service then moved to the contact center of the bank(first bank) I was an assistant lead and also trained new employees, improved the overall performance of my team via a better management approach. I later joined a fintech e commerce company as a production analyst under the operations department and was among the team that handled the migration of our mobile application successfully and handled onboarding of customers into our system, onboarding products to our app and also assisting the product team on ideas to making the app better. While I was doing this role I have always wanted to transition into product management and aspire to do great under product so I had to study with Utiva and earned my certification under product management. Finally I’m in need of a hands on experience under the product management space to leverage on all I have learnt and get better in the future.
