Senior AML/CFT and regulatory governance leader driving compliance and risk resilience.
MalaysiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a regulatory compliance leader with deep experience strengthening AML/CFT, sanctions and enterprise risk frameworks across regulated financial institutions in APAC. I operate as an independent second line of defence, providing regulatory advisory, escalation authority and board-level oversight, and have built compliance functions from inception while institutionalising risk-based monitoring programmes to enhance control accountability.
My track record includes establishing AML/CFT and TFS governance under multiple supervisors, designing IRA and RCSA frameworks, leading supervisory engagement with regulators (BNM, MAS, Labuan FSA), and improving inspection readiness and control effectiveness. I deliver measurable operational improvements—reducing compliance costs, improving workflow efficiency, and embedding resilient governance and conduct frameworks.
