Financial crime and compliance specialist with 15+ years’ banking experience.
AustraliaWhat I'm looking for
I am a financial crime and compliance specialist with over 15 years' banking experience across transaction monitoring, fraud investigations, complex lending and misconduct reviews. I combine investigative precision with strong stakeholder engagement to assess governance and escalate risk in line with prudential and AML/CTF standards.
In my current role I lead end-to-end investigations into high-risk transaction activity, prepare high-quality AUSTRAC reports, and analyse complex fund flows involving large numbers of counterparties. I have a proven track record advocating system and process change, delivering peer coaching and capability uplift, and consistently meeting SLAs while maintaining high accuracy.
I bring deep experience in complex lending, credit and commercial property analysis, and regulatory interpretation (APRA and internal frameworks), and I actively drive integration and process improvements that reduce duplication and strengthen reporting accuracy.
