What I'm looking for

I prefer jobs that challenge me to learn and grow, rather than doing the same tasks for an extended period. I’m also interested in integrating sustainable practices into projects.

At WIACON, I developed an AML compliance program addressing the EU AML Package and the German Money Laundering Act, and provided recommendations to strengthen corporate governance. I also developed a generic sanctions compliance program and conducted sanctions risk assessments, including name-list screening and EDD.

At Tourism bank, I planned risk-based compliance programs, managed a team of eleven, and led a cross-functional team developing a rule-based transaction monitoring solution. Earlier, I conducted risk-based internal audits and developed AML processes, performed KYC checks, and prepared suspicious transaction reports.
