Marco Torrente
@marcotorrente
Bilingual compliance analyst with expertise in risk management.
What I'm looking for
I am a compliance analyst with seven years of experience in risk management, specializing in digital payments and fintech. My background includes building and managing regulatory programs, investigating AML alerts, and executing KYC document checks. I am known for my data-driven solutions that have significantly reduced fraud losses and improved compliance frameworks.
At Voi Logistics, I devised the first EU-wide compliance framework for citation-management payments, ensuring adherence to GDPR and municipal obligations. My previous role at Block, Inc. involved investigating high-risk transactions and drafting Suspicious Activity Reports, where I successfully reduced annual fraud losses by 30% through collaboration with cross-functional teams.
As a founder of Wet Dreams Miami, I leveraged my analytical skills to build a cash-positive bakery within six months, demonstrating my ability to apply compliance principles in diverse environments. I am passionate about driving compliance and risk management initiatives that align with business objectives.
