What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance or risk role in fintech or regulated industries to apply AML/KYC expertise, lead operational compliance, and support cross-border growth in a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a multilingual compliance and business professional with over ten years' international experience across Ireland, Europe and APAC.

I built and led operations from concept to launch as a General Manager, managing regulatory setup, vendor procurement, CRM implementation and ASAI-compliant marketing.

As Buying Director and overseas buyer I developed supplier due diligence, AML awareness for cross-border luxury transactions, market analysis and VIP client compliance advisory.

I am completing a Higher Diploma in Fintech Regulatory Risk & Compliance to deepen my AML/KYC and lifecycle risk skills, and I seek roles where I can lead operational compliance, risk management and cross-cultural stakeholder projects.
