@matheusrochast
Business & Compliance Executive with expertise in risk management.
What I'm looking for
I am a Business & Compliance Executive with over 10 years of experience in AML-CFT, risk management, and regulatory frameworks across global financial markets and startups. My entrepreneurial mindset has allowed me to successfully design AML risk calculators, streamline KYC/Onboarding workflows, and lead regulatory projects across LATAM. I excel at bridging data, regulation, and business strategy to support sustainable growth in fast-paced environments.
Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Business Analytics while actively contributing to financial and administrative management at Kings Group USA LLC. My previous roles at Bank of New York Mellon and BGC Group have equipped me with a strong foundation in financial risk management and internal controls. I have a proven track record of achieving significant operational improvements, such as a 50% reduction in SLA through redesigned workflows and the successful implementation of risk assessment frameworks.
As a founder of GDO Fantasy Game, I have demonstrated my ability to innovate within the startup space, reaching over 7,000 users in just six months. My experience managing franchises and recreational facilities has further honed my skills in strategic execution and team leadership, making me a valuable asset to any organization looking to enhance its compliance and risk management strategies.
