What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in compliance where I can leverage my KYC/AML expertise to enhance organizational risk management and regulatory adherence.

I am a forward-thinking KYC/AML Analyst with a proven track record in client onboarding and remediation projects within the financial sector. My extensive experience has equipped me with specialist knowledge in Standard Due Diligence (SDD), Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), and compliance with FCA guidelines. I excel in identifying and mitigating potential risks, including those associated with Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and sanctions, ensuring that organizations adhere to international AML regulatory requirements.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated advanced analytical skills and a keen attention to detail, which have been crucial in my roles at esteemed institutions such as Ernst & Young and ICBC Standard Bank. I have successfully managed high-risk cases, conducted thorough investigations, and maintained high standards of quality assurance. My ability to work collaboratively with senior management and key stakeholders has been instrumental in promoting best practices and continuous improvement in compliance processes.
