What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply my AML/CFT compliance and transaction monitoring expertise with strong data analysis skills—helping protect organizations through accurate investigations, robust internal controls, and continuous process improvement.

I’m an AML & Compliance professional with 4+ years of experience across transaction analysis, alert management, regulatory reporting, and data analysis. I’ve worked in banking, mining, private security, and logistics, building a reputation for accuracy, analytical thinking, and continuous process improvement.

Most recently, I served as a Data & Security Analyst in Mauritanian private security, where I collected and validated information to identify security risks, monitored alerts and incidents, and delivered intelligence, dashboard, and KPI reporting to support decision-making. Previously, as Financial Security Unit Lead at Banque Populaire de Mauritanie, I led the bank’s AML/CFT compliance function—overseeing KYC/CDD/EDD reviews, sanctions screening, AML risk assessments, internal policy implementation, and AML training for staff.
