What I'm looking for

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

I am a dedicated compliance professional with extensive experience in the financial sector, specializing in KYC, due diligence, and regulatory compliance. My career has been defined by a commitment to integrity and excellence, which has enabled me to successfully manage complex compliance projects and support corporate banking operations. I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail and the ability to multitask are essential.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in risk analysis and project management, ensuring that all processes adhere to regulatory standards. My role as a Commercial Operations Specialist at Águas de Coimbra has allowed me to lead multidisciplinary teams in optimizing workflows and enhancing operational efficiency. I take pride in my ability to analyze data and implement continuous improvement initiatives that drive performance and compliance.

In previous positions, I have conducted thorough client risk assessments and collaborated on cross-border compliance projects, demonstrating my ability to work effectively within diverse teams.
