What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values compliance and risk management, offers opportunities for professional growth, and fosters a collaborative team environment.

I am a highly skilled and detail-oriented AML/KYC analyst with extensive experience in financial crime prevention, regulatory compliance, and customer due diligence. My business-minded approach and excellent financial acumen enable me to manage high-risk customer profiles effectively. I thrive in collaborative environments, having worked with over 400 team members across Europe, where I have provided training and mentoring to new staff members.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated critical thinking and analytical skills by conducting in-depth research, investigations, and reviews. My meticulous attention to detail ensures that I collate accurate and up-to-date information, which is vital for risk mitigation and compliance. I am also a confident public speaker, adept at presenting assessments to senior management and facilitating training sessions for my colleagues.
