What I'm looking for

I’m looking to deepen my impact in KYC/AML compliance and remediation, partnering with teams to reduce risk through accurate data verification, strong controls, and clear SLA/TAT delivery—while continuing to train and build compliance-focused, customer-centered processes.

I’m a detail-oriented compliance and administration professional with over a decade of experience in administration, compliance oversight, financial administration, record-keeping, and customer service. I’m known for ensuring policy adherence, maintaining accurate and confidential data, and leading cross-functional teams with integrity.

At Equity Bank, I work as a KYC and Remediation Officer focused on risk mitigation and operational excellence. I conduct KYC, Customer Due Diligence (CDD), and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), verify customer identities and documentation against AML regulations, and support branch teams with advisory guidance on KYC, AML, and customer onboarding. I also monitor Service Level Agreements (SLAs), turnaround times (TAT), and quality assurance while driving first-time-right execution through accurate data review.

Previously, as a Procurement Manager, I strengthened compliance by running supplier onboarding and due diligence, achieving 100% supplier compliance with company policies and regulatory requirements. I embedded fraud-prevention and AML-aligned checks into vendor onboarding, improved audit readiness with digital procurement record-keeping, and delivered cost savings through compliant, risk-conscious supplier negotiations—along with training and mentorship to build a culture of accuracy and accountability.
