What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for growth and a collaborative company culture focused on compliance and risk management.

I am an experienced financial services professional with over 8 years in transaction monitoring, credit analysis, customer success, and relationship management. My expertise lies in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD). I have a proven track record of mitigating risks, fostering regulatory compliance, and delivering exceptional client experiences in dynamic financial environments.

Currently, I work as a Risk Analyst at Accenture in Lisbon, where I review high-volume alerts for money laundering and fraud, conduct in-depth transaction reviews, and prepare Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). My previous roles have equipped me with the skills to manage key accounts, educate clients on compliance requirements, and lead teams in risk management protocols. I am passionate about continuous learning and staying current on AML/CTF regulations, which I believe is crucial in today’s ever-evolving financial landscape.
