Message

I'm Head of Internal Audit at SHKK UNIFIN, building on extensive internal audit leadership across Albania's banking and non-banking financial sector.

Previously, I led internal audit at Union Financiar Tirane | Unionnet - Western Union and conducted senior internal audit work at Union Grup, planning regulatory, compliance, and operational audits; assessing risks and controls; and reporting findings to Boards of Directors.

I've progressed from back-office banking operations through junior and internal audit roles at Union Bank Albania. As a Certified Internal Auditor and Certification in Risk Management Assurance holder, I focus on effective controls, regulatory compliance, and continuous improvement.
