What I'm looking for

I'm looking to strengthen AML/KYC compliance, risk governance, high-risk client due diligence, and operational excellence in a dynamic financial services environment.

At HSBC, I drive enhanced due diligence for high-risk MENA client accounts, uncovering AML exposure and strengthening KYC frameworks. I partner with cross-functional stakeholders to enforce internal policies and MENA regulatory mandates, contributing to a 15% quarterly reduction in discrepancies.

Across 10+ years in AML and financial crime compliance, I've managed KYC, CDD, EDD, client lifecycle management, sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening. I've reduced KYC/EDD turnaround time by 12–13%, improved CLM/KYC process efficiency by 20–22%, and maintained 99% screening accuracy.

I also coach junior analysts, lead compliance reviews and reporting, and use performance metrics, training, and process improvement to build audit-ready, high-performing teams.
