What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead AML/FINCRIME investigations and reporting, strengthen sanctions and KYC controls, and improve transaction monitoring and risk frameworks—while collaborating with MLRO and global compliance stakeholders to reduce institutional risk.

I have worked across units like the law enforcement department, Compliance internal risk, transaction monitoring as well as sanction screening. I have contribute to a significant growth and change that shaped the financial space.
