I conduct KYC and customer due diligence reviews at Due Diligence Africa Advisory, supporting compliant onboarding and ongoing customer monitoring.

I assess customer risk using identity, profile, business activities, and other risk factors. I verify documentation, screen for PEPs, sanctions, and adverse media, and perform enhanced due diligence for high-risk customers.

I investigate KYC discrepancies, red flags, and potential compliance concerns, maintaining accurate case documentation and escalating complex cases where appropriate.

Previously, I analyzed global financial markets and executed foreign exchange trades using market research, technical analysis, economic indicators, and risk management. I hold Chainalysis Reactor certification and AML certification.
