What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading forensic advisory and financial crime compliance programs where I can shape governance, partner with regulators and C-suite, and drive measurable risk reduction.

I am an advisory professional with over 14 years of global experience in forensic advisory, financial crime compliance, and regulatory matters across Financial Services, Consulting, Telecom, Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Technology sectors.

I have led cross-border, multi-disciplinary teams at Big 4 consulting firms, directing complex AML/KYC remediation, sanctions, transaction monitoring, fraud investigations, and dispute resolution engagements across the Middle East, UK, US, India, and Africa.

I partner with C-suite stakeholders and regulators (CBUAE, QCB, CBK, FCA, FCPA, OFAC, RBI) to design internal control frameworks, institutionalize SOPs, build KPI dashboards, and strengthen governance, ethics, and vendor due diligence programs to improve operational efficiency and mitigate risk.

I deliver enterprise-wide risk assessments, compliance training, and forensic reporting for litigation and regulatory matters, and have practical experience with forensic tools, eDiscovery platforms, and regulatory databases to produce actionable recommendations that protect reputation and support business objectives.
