What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values compliance and operational excellence, offering growth opportunities.

I am a dedicated Global Auction Coordinator with extensive experience in managing auction operations across multiple markets. My role at BidX1 has allowed me to hone my skills in CRM management, KYC compliance, and drafting property catalogues in both Spanish and English. I thrive in fast-paced environments, providing essential helpdesk support during auction weeks and ensuring a seamless post-sale legal process.

Previously, I served as an AML Associate at Carne Group, where I completed KYC reviews and generated comprehensive MLRO reports for Fund Boards. My background in law, complemented by a Master’s Degree in Data Protection, equips me with a robust understanding of compliance regulations and the ability to navigate complex legal frameworks. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to foster connections and enhance operational efficiency.
