I build AML/CFT compliance frameworks and strengthen financial crime risk detection.
United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
I’ve led AML/CFT compliance, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and UAEFIU reporting for SRTIP, Alsaefah Gold Trading, Aqua Properties, and Orbex Bullion Gold Trading. My work has strengthened regulatory reporting, risk assessments, internal audits, and governance across free zone, gold trading, and real estate environments.
I’ve reduced KYC, CDD, SDD, and EDD turnaround times by 35%, trained more than 200 staff to improve risk detection, and led audits generating AED 100K–AED 500K in annual savings. Earlier at EY GDS, I delivered KYC/AML consulting for a Tier-1 UAE bank, including UBO verification and high-risk client due diligence.
