Compliance and data analytics professional focused on fraud prevention and KYC.
What I'm looking for
I am a compliance and data analytics professional with hands-on experience in fraud prevention, KYC, and risk management across fintech and telecommunications environments. I combine analytical rigor with practical compliance knowledge to detect and mitigate fraud and ensure regulatory adherence.
My background includes roles as a Fraud Analyst at Zubale (Mexico) and Compliance Professional at Telefónica (Colombia), where I led efforts to prevent fraud and supported KYC processes. I have worked in credit union and risk-assistant positions, developing SQL-based data analysis skills and compliance procedures.
I hold a degree in Public Accounting and training in Business Administration from UNISANGIL, and I bring strong teamwork, leadership, and communication skills in both Spanish and English. I am motivated by roles that allow me to apply data-driven insights to strengthen compliance and reduce operational risk.
