What I'm looking for

I seek senior product roles in banking or fintech where I can lead AFC/KYC product roadmaps, integrate IDV/API ecosystems, and partner with Compliance to reduce risk while improving customer onboarding.

I am a Senior Product Manager with 12 years of banking experience focused on Anti‑Financial Crime (AFC), KYC/AML workflows and regulatory compliance. I combine prior Enterprise Architecture expertise with product leadership to build API‑first identity verification and risk‑screening solutions that balance strict regulatory requirements with smooth user experiences.

I have led end‑to‑end product lifecycles for corporate onboarding and commercial banking digital solutions, driven integrations with IDV providers and risk databases, and delivered roadmaps aligned with C‑level goals that supported over €20 million in annual revenue. I partner closely with Legal and Compliance as the 1st Line of Defense to translate AML/CTF frameworks into scalable technical specifications and measurable risk‑mitigation outcomes.
