What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead complex financial crime investigations, enhance SAR reporting and controls, mentor teams, and work closely with compliance and product to reduce risk.

I am a Mid FinCrime Escalations professional with broad experience across financial crime investigations, product escalation, and compliance procedures. I currently approve SARs and coordinate regulatory RFIs while improving internal controls.

At Revolut I led complex investigations, narrated cross-jurisdictional SARs, provided training, and created procedural guidelines for FIU agents. I have driven product changes to improve SAR reporting and led VIP taskforce inquiries.

Previously I held roles spanning business product expertise, technical support, and legal practice, which developed my investigative, leadership, and customer-care skills. I also managed a criminal law practice and published research on criminal procedure and search-and-seizure issues.

I hold a Master’s in Criminology and strong language skills in Portuguese, English (C1) and Spanish (B2). I am dedicated to optimizing compliance and risk strategies in fast-paced environments and mentoring teams to achieve consistent results.
