What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for professional growth in compliance and risk management.

I am a highly seasoned compliance manager with over 11 years of experience in AML/CFT compliance and investigations, primarily with the Central Bank of Nigeria. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, where I have consistently exceeded expectations in delivering compliance training and managing complex compliance issues. I hold a Post Graduate Certificate in Insurance and Risk Management from Fanshawe College, along with several certifications including CAMS and CFE, which equip me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in the compliance space.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to identify vulnerabilities and recommend corrective actions, ensuring that organizations adhere to regulatory requirements. My experience includes training over 1000 employees across multiple branches, conducting comprehensive analyses of transaction data, and liaising effectively with various departments to resolve compliance issues. I am dedicated to maintaining high work ethics and continuously developing my capacity to contribute positively to my organization.
