At Societe Generale, I perform end-to-end AML and sanctions screening for SWIFT, SEPA, ERP, and cross-border payments. I review 800–1,000 alerts daily and have resolved 900+ complex cases involving potential sanctions exposure and elevated-risk transactions.

Across 7+ years at Societe Generale and Tata Consultancy Services, I’ve investigated payment activity, completed KYC/CDD/EDD reviews, conducted QA reviews, and documented defensible escalation decisions. I’ve been recognised with awards at both organisations for compliance performance and operational contribution.
