## About

```text
At Wolf Theiss, I lead end-to-end client onboarding for the Sofia office, conducting risk-based KYC/CDD and enhanced due diligence for corporate, fund and private clients. I identify ultimate beneficial owners across complex cross-border structures and review source of funds and source of wealth on higher-risk matters.

Previously at UniCredit Bulbank, I was responsible for KYC of large corporate, international and private banking clients, and independently implemented Group financial sanctions locally. I also drafted the bank's KYC policy and onboarding regulations, and have applied my Master's in Law and Master's in Cybersecurity across compliance, sanctions and AML work.
