What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles strengthening compliance and controls in global banks, focusing on regulatory change, process optimisation, team leadership, and measurable risk reduction.

I am a dynamic Compliance, Risk & Financial Control leader with 15+ years of global experience across Europe and Asia, specialising in regulatory compliance, AML/KYC, and financial controllership. I have led cross-functional teams and driven process optimisation to meet international regulatory standards.

At Bank of America I reduced disclosure backlogs by 96%, delivered major process migrations, and implemented controls that cut unsigned interdealer confirmations from an average of 30 to 1. I have managed documentation and product-control teams, harmonised APAC/EMEA workflows, and scaled P&L commentary production during disruption.

I focus on pragmatic remediation, robust change management, and mentoring teams to deliver consistent, auditable outcomes. I seek to apply my experience in regulatory change, audit execution, and operational risk mitigation to strengthen compliance and control frameworks in global financial institutions.
