What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior AML/financial crime role where I can lead compliance improvements, mentor teams, drive process optimization, and support regulatory readiness.

I am an AML and Financial Crime Prevention specialist with progressive experience across banking and financial services, delivering AML/KYC reviews, risk oversight, and regulatory compliance guidance. I have served as an SME interpreting AML policies and translating regulatory guidance into operational procedures.

I have led process evaluations and created BPMN/UML documentation, participated in UAT and tool rollouts, and supported audit and regulatory inspections by preparing remediation evidence and governance reports. I am proficient with AML technologies such as Quantexa and Moody’s and with data analysis and reporting tools including Power BI and Excel.

I build strong cross-functional partnerships to improve AML effectiveness, provide training and quality assurance, and mentor junior analysts. My background includes roles at NatWest, Thomson Reuters, and Refinitiv, and certifications including the ICA Advanced Certificate in Anti Money Laundering.
