What I'm looking for

I seek a senior compliance role where I can lead anti-bribery and AML programs, implement ISO 37001/37301, strengthen controls, and foster an ethics-driven culture in a standards-focused organization.

I am a results-driven senior compliance and ethics professional with extensive experience implementing Anti-Bribery Management Systems (ISO 37001) and Compliance Management Systems (ISO 37301) across complex organizations.

I have led certification and audit processes, developed high-impact policies and training, and managed third-party due diligence, sanctions screening, and KYC/AML frameworks to reduce regulatory and reputational risk.

I have advised senior management on investigations, supported whistleblower mechanisms, and delivered targeted compliance training to embed ethical behaviour and accountability across teams.

I bring a pragmatic, standards-driven approach to building compliance programs that align business practices with international laws and drive measurable improvements in integrity and controls.
