What I'm looking for

I seek a role in financial services combining compliance, AML and legal/governance work—ideally with funds, trusts or global business, offering regulatory impact and growth.

I am an experienced compliance and anti-money laundering professional with a legal background and governance qualifications, focused on funds, trusts and global business. I hold an ACAMS certification and GradCG membership while overseeing compliance for Mauritius and Cayman funds.

Throughout my career I have led implementation of global and local compliance frameworks, acted as MLRO and FSC-approved compliance officer, coordinated group integrations and managed day-to-day compliance operations including due diligence, client screening, transaction monitoring and regulatory liaison.

I bring hands-on company secretarial and legal experience from corporate and litigation roles, strong stakeholder engagement across jurisdictions, and a commitment to rigorous regulatory standards to support financial services teams and growth in the trusts and funds sector.
