What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead front-office risk controls and RCSA programs, use data analytics to reduce operational risk, mentor teams, and contribute to global governance and audit-readiness.

I am a Risk and Control Officer with 9+ years' experience across CIB front offices in the US, APAC, and EMEA, specializing in operational risk, front-office surveillance, and unauthorized trading controls.

At BNP Paribas CIB in New York, I implemented LOD1 controls, led RCSA programs, and used data analytics to identify and mitigate risks, contributing to a 30% reduction in operational risk and streamlining processes to save 30% in time and costs.

Previously in Paris I oversaw end-to-end control frameworks for Global Equities, Macro, Credit and ALMT, led investigations into mandate breaches and trading anomalies, improved audit readiness, and partnered with anti-fraud and operational control teams to address cross-risk issues.

I hold dual master's degrees in Financial Mathematics and Financial Markets Risk Analysis, have built real-time reporting tools, mentor junior staff, and am focused on continuing data and AI learning to strengthen risk governance and surveillance capabilities.
