What I'm looking for

I seek AML/compliance roles where I can use investigative skills, improve processes, and contribute to clear reporting and risk mitigation in a collaborative, compliance-driven team.

I am an experienced AML analyst and credit officer with a strong focus on risk management, transaction monitoring, and regulatory compliance within the banking sector. I have worked across multiple banks handling case investigations, SAR preparation, KYC validation, receivables risk assessment, and customer account management using systems such as SAP, Smaragd, Siron and goAML.

My approach is meticulous and reliability-driven: I conduct open-source investigations, prepare clear narratives and documentation, perform quality checks, and make escalation or closure decisions from an L1/L2 perspective. I bring practical loan officer experience, expertise in sanctions/PEP/adverse media screening, and a track record of improving processes and supporting reporting to internal and external authorities.
