What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in compliance where I can leverage my legal expertise and contribute to organizational success.

I am a dedicated compliance officer with extensive experience in ensuring adherence to financial regulations in Uganda. My journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Law from Gulu University, which equipped me with a profound understanding of both local and international laws. I have honed my skills in compliance through various roles, including my current position at eLipa Solutions, where I lead compliance initiatives and maintain relationships with regulatory authorities.

Throughout my career, I have developed comprehensive compliance policies and conducted internal audits to enhance the effectiveness of compliance programs. My previous role at Yako Bank allowed me to align AML/CFT efforts with regulatory standards, ensuring that the bank mitigated risks associated with non-compliance. I am passionate about fostering a culture of compliance and have trained staff to stay informed about legal changes, thereby promoting a strong KYC environment.
