FranceWhat I'm looking for
I am a product-oriented compliance and risk professional with over 10 years of international experience across banking, fintech, and regulatory projects in EMEA. I specialize in KYC, AML, sanctions, and financial crime data governance, connecting risk, technology, and customer experience.
At ING I led regulatory remediation projects and delivered diagnostics and risk reporting ahead of deadlines, while at Citibank I designed KYC automation models that reduced review time and at Revolut I improved suspicious activity detection through risk-scoring and anomaly rules.
My strengths combine product thinking, data analytics, and UX awareness to optimize onboarding, verification, and risk processes; I partner with engineering and senior stakeholders to automate monitoring, digitalize audit trails, and produce executive-level compliance dashboards.
I am passionate about creating efficient, compliant, and user-friendly customer journeys that enable innovation with regulatory integrity, and I am available to start immediately, open to relocation or remote collaboration.
