@borisdimov
I build scalable AML/KYC frameworks for regulated financial services.
What I'm looking for
At Centralis Group, I built the AML/KYC function from zero and now lead Group-wide delivery for approximately 5,000 clients. I design risk-based controls, onboarding and review workflows, QA, escalation routes, procedures, KPIs and training while overseeing complex higher-risk relationships.
I lead a 25-person function through two Managers and report directly to the Board on risk, remediation and performance. I also led the full migration to a new KYC platform, translating compliance requirements into practical workflows, controls, exception handling and adoption.
Across Centralis Group, Goodman Group, Andersen Tax/Paddock Corporate Services and Satispay, I've worked on AML risk methodology, compliance monitoring, regulatory reporting, sanctions, corporate structures, transaction monitoring and regulatory-change implementation in Luxembourg-regulated financial services.
My Distinction-level LL.M. thesis explored effective crypto supervision across blockchain, DeFi, CASPs, non-custodial wallets, KYC/KYT, MiCA and the Transfer of Funds framework. I use Power BI, Excel, Copilot, AI agents and prior SQL/Looker experience to improve screening, risk MI, quality analysis and process automation.
