@donatellalupidi
I strengthen financial crime controls through assurance reviews, KYC investigations, and risk-based compliance oversight.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered financial crime compliance oversight and management information at Marex, supporting senior management and committee reporting across multiple jurisdictions.
At Barclays, I executed assurance reviews, validated issues, assessed control design and operating effectiveness, and drove remediation across AML, sanctions, anti-bribery and corruption, and anti-terrorist financing. I also supported a front-to-back review of Barclays Payments against Group Financial Crime Policies and Standards, working with subject-matter experts and stakeholders across outsourced and internal processes.
Earlier, I managed KYC for a portfolio of Western European corporate clients, investigating complex ownership structures, high-risk customer types, source of funds, source of wealth, sanctions, and PEP exposure. At Amazon UK, I investigated suspicious activity, created KYC procedures adopted across EU marketplaces, and trained new hires on KYC processes.
I'm CAMS-certified and hold an ICA International Diploma in Financial Crime Prevention with Distinction. I work fluently in Italian, Spanish, and English, with intermediate French.
