Dharvish Chundydyal
@dharvishchundydyal
I am an AML/KYC leader driving compliance, investigations, and risk mitigation across financial services.
What I'm looking for
I lead AML/KYC teams to deliver timely customer due diligence, maintain regulatory compliance, and manage cross-jurisdictional liaison for complex client relationships. I provide guidance, training and operational oversight to ensure deliverables meet risk and policy standards.
My background spans banking, advisory, and fund administration where I performed AML investigations, risk assessments, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring and remediation. I have contributed to policy and procedure development, regulatory reporting and implemented process improvements using compliance technology and analytics, while holding industry certifications in financial crime prevention.
I focus on mentoring staff, building resilient controls, and translating regulatory change into practical operational solutions. I seek to drive measurable reductions in financial crime risk and strengthen compliance programs through people, process, and technology.
