What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a B2B role where I can lead risk, fraud, KYC/AML, and payment operations end-to-end—while training and mentoring international teams through clear SOPs, SLA/KPI management, and practical fraud prevention playbooks.

I’m a results-driven iGaming professional with over 11 years of hands-on experience in Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, and Payment Operations in the fast-paced Malta market. I protect operator ecosystems against bonus abuse, multi-accounting, and irregular player behavior, with end-to-end KYC, CDD, and EDD aligned to regulatory frameworks.

As an experienced Subject Matter Expert (SME) and Operations Trainer, I onboard, upskill, and manage international risk teams, translating real-time monitoring into actionable investigations and clear playbooks. I also handle high-volume deposit and withdrawal processing, payment troubleshooting, and the documentation of SOPs and fraud prevention processes—operating under an independent B2B contract structure from Slovakia.
