What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my trade-surveillance, market-integrity investigation, and capital-markets operations experience in a role focused on detecting risk, resolving complex trading issues, and partnering with front-office, compliance, and legal stakeholders.

At RBC Capital Markets, I review trading data across front-end, internal, and third-party systems to identify suspicious activity and unusual trading patterns. I perform second-line trade monitoring across asset classes, with an emphasis on equities, and escalate relevant findings to compliance and legal teams.

Previously at BNP Paribas, I investigated trade-surveillance alerts involving insider trading, manipulation, and micro-cap typologies. I documented findings, analyzed transaction activity, and worked daily with front-office salespeople, traders, compliance advisors, and 1LOD teams to resolve potential regulatory issues and support Suspicious Activity Report referrals.

At Crédit Agricole, I supported senior traders and sales across FX options, fixed income, metals, and nonlinear rates derivatives. I managed post-execution trade-lifecycle activities including capture, booking, settlements, collateral, reconciliations, novations, valuations, and corporate actions.

I also bring client-facing sales, relationship management, FX execution, market analysis, and business development experience from SMB Capital and Gain Capital. I hold NFA Series 3 and 34 certifications and use tools including Bloomberg, Reuters, SQL, Murex, MarkitWire, Tableau, and NICE Actimize.
