What I'm looking for

I seek senior compliance or risk roles where I can lead AML/CFT programs, strengthen business continuity, guide regulatory reporting, mentor teams, and drive robust, compliant operations.

I am a Senior Risk and Compliance professional with extensive experience in AML/CFT, sanctions screening, business continuity management and regulatory reporting. I have served as Money Laundering Reporting Officer and led bank-wide implementations of AML systems and Common Reporting Standard requirements.

I have a strong track record in conducting risk assessments for new products, preparing reports to Board Risk Committees and Executive Management, and driving compliance programs including KYC, FATCA and other regulatory frameworks. I have developed operational risk champions across business units and coordinated business continuity and occupational health and safety activities.

I hold multiple professional certifications in AML, CFT, business continuity and risk management, and I combine technical competence with stakeholder management, training delivery and policy review to ensure regulatory compliance and improved operational resilience.
