What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth in compliance and risk management, within a collaborative environment.

I am an experienced financial crime and risk mitigation specialist with extensive knowledge in digital banking, financial crime, money laundering, and transactional risk. My career has been marked by a commitment to compliance and a deep understanding of the complexities involved in business verification and enhanced due diligence. I pride myself on being a motivated and efficient analyst who takes ownership of my work, communicates effectively, and thrives in agile team environments.

Currently, I work as a Financial Crime Analyst at Revolut, where I specialize in business onboarding. My responsibilities include verifying compliance for businesses and assessing their fit for onboarding by evaluating incorporation details, nature of business, and ownership structures. Previously, I served as a Financial Risk Investigator at Amazon, where I investigated suspicious activities and identified trends that posed financial and legal risks. My diverse experience has equipped me with a thorough knowledge of anti-money laundering practices and the ability to conduct customer due diligence effectively.
