What I'm looking for

I seek a senior compliance role leading AML/CFT frameworks, regulatory liaison, and team mentorship in an integrity-focused organisation that values process improvement and professional growth.

I am a compliance officer with over five years' experience in regulatory compliance, AML/CFT, and corporate governance. I build and refine compliance frameworks that ensure regulatory adherence while improving operational efficiency.

I have led MLRO and compliance responsibilities across management companies, overseeing transaction monitoring, KYC onboarding, risk assessments and liaison with regulators such as FSC, ROC and FIU. I deliver training, draft AML/CFT policies, and steer responses to onsite inspections and regulatory reporting.

Known for solving complex problems and optimizing processes, I use compliance management software, data analytics and foundational programming to produce actionable reports and controls. I am seeking senior roles where I can lead compliance programs, mentor teams, and drive a culture of integrity.
