What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values compliance and risk management, where I can leverage my expertise to enhance organizational integrity and foster a positive team culture.

I am a qualified attorney of the Republic of South Africa with over 11 years of compliance experience across various jurisdictions, including Guernsey, BVI, Cayman Islands, Jersey, and Hong Kong. My role as Governance and Risk Director has allowed me to lead significant regulatory overhauls and successfully manage compliance frameworks that meet stringent standards.

Throughout my career, I have strengthened AML/CFT policies, overhauled compliance monitoring programs, and implemented effective training strategies. My pragmatic approach and strong team management skills have fostered a highly efficient Governance and Risk Team, ensuring that we meet all regulatory requirements while maintaining a positive work environment.
