What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a reputable organization that values compliance and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated professional with a Master's degree from Vilnius Gedimino Technical University and extensive experience in compliance and auditing roles. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence in anti-money laundering (AML) practices, where I have successfully led teams and implemented strategies to mitigate financial risks. At Knooz, I oversee the AML team, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards while fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Previously, I served as an Internal Auditor and Compliance Manager at Zee Que Exchange, where I honed my skills in compliance audits, risk assessments, and financial analysis. My ability to communicate effectively and build strong relationships has been instrumental in collaborating with various departments to ensure compliance with legal requirements. I am passionate about leveraging my analytical skills to drive organizational success and uphold the highest standards of integrity.
