What I'm looking for

I seek a compliance role focused on AML/financial-crime QA and investigations, with strong collaboration, continuous improvement, and regulatory reporting responsibilities.

I am a senior compliance professional with extensive experience in financial crime investigations, quality assurance, KYC and AML controls across European banking operations. I have led SAR quality reviews, delivered QA frameworks and trained investigation teams to improve detection, remediation and regulatory reporting.

My career spans roles at major banks and public sector finance, where I redesigned control attributes, remediated process gaps and produced management reporting to drive continuous improvement. I hold advanced AML and compliance certifications and I am committed to ensuring regulatory adherence and effective stakeholder collaboration.
