What I'm looking for

I seek a senior AML/anti-fraud or audit role where I can lead investigations, strengthen controls, mentor teams, and drive compliance in a collaborative, integrity-focused organization.

I am a results-driven internal auditor and certified fraud examiner with over 10 years' experience in banking and financial services, focused on fraud prevention, forensic investigations, AML/KYC, transaction monitoring and risk management.

In my current role I lead AML/CFT/CPF investigations, conducting enhanced due diligence, forensic analysis of financial data, and collaborating with legal, law enforcement and stakeholders to resolve high-profile fraud cases.

I have designed bank-wide fraud detection frameworks, trained investigative teams, prepared investigation and audit reports for senior management and audit committees, and implemented corrective action plans to reduce operational and fraud risk.

I hold professional certifications including Certified Fraud Examiner (ACFE) and Certified in Cybersecurity (ISC2), and I am pursuing CAMS; I bring strong analytical, leadership and problem-solving skills to safeguard assets and ensure regulatory compliance.
