@katrinabolotna
Operations and compliance manager across international trade and crypto-fiat, who built an AML process from the ground up.
What I'm looking for
At Admin Exchange, I built the AML process from the ground up for a licensed crypto-fiat exchange in Poland. I also handled tax and regulatory documentation and set up reconciliation and reporting for operations worth millions of USD annually.
At Elban Group Sp. z o.o., I take ownership of international trade projects from supplier and client communication through logistics, customs, certification, and final delivery. I focus on making a complicated process feel simple for the client.
As an independent operations and compliance manager, I work hands-on with companies to carry operational, financial, and compliance tasks through from start to finish. My hospitality background still shapes how I work with clients, partners, and teams—and I care about saving people and companies time.

I work hands-on with companies that need someone to take ownership of operational, financial, or compliance tasks and carry them through from start to finish.

Admin Exchange
Nov 2024 - Apr 2026 (1 year 5 months)
At Admin Exchange, I worked on the formal side of a licensed crypto-fiat exchange in Poland (offline) – the part that mostly happens behind the scenes.
I built the AML process from the ground up, handled tax and regulatory documentation, and set up reconciliation and reporting for operations worth millions of USD annually.
So a lot of it was paperwork, numbers, and regulations – all the things n

Vianpol Sp. z o.o.
Jan 2024 - Apr 2025 (1 year 3 months)
Real estate was the core of my work at Vianpol, but my role was never limited to one area.
I was the person who stepped into whatever the business needed at the time: financial and contractual matters, documentation, opening a warehouse and retail locations, formalities around a new restaurant, exhibitions, ticket sales, organizing large-scale events, and other projects that didn’t really fit int

I worked for an outsourced accounting firm serving a large and diverse portfolio of businesses.

Front Office & Reservation Manager | Luxury Hospitality
The Granary La Suite Hotel (5★)
Mar 2022 - Aug 2023 (1 year 5 months)
Granary was where hospitality became much more than just working with guests for me. I managed a front office team of 15+ people and was responsible for the quality of service, team performance, and the day-to-day guest experience.
I hired and trained new team members, worked with VIP guests, handled situations that needed more attention, and made sure the team could deliver the same level of serv

Aparthotel Invite
Apr 2019 - Mar 2022 (2 years 11 months)
I started at Invite as a receptionist in a busy apart-hotel and worked my way up to Front Desk Supervisor, gradually taking on training, procedures, and internal documentation alongside the day-to-day work at the front desk.
I became the person managers trusted with the shifts where things were most likely to get complicated. Busy days, nights, weekends – if I was there, they knew they didn’t nee
Front Office Clerk
Campanile
Oct 2018 - Sep 2019 (11 months)
I worked at the front desk, handled reservations and guest requests, and learned pretty quickly that the job was about much more than check-ins and check-outs. It was about noticing what people needed, solving problems on the spot, and making their stay feel easy.
This was where my hospitality story started, and apparently, quite a lot of it stayed with me
