What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my extensive finance experience, particularly in roles that focus on compliance, capital strategy, and client engagement, within a dynamic and growth-oriented company.

I am a results-driven finance professional with over 20 years of experience across banking, capital raising, AML compliance, and client relationship management. My career has been marked by a proven success in leading complex financial projects, securing capital for high-growth ventures, and managing risk for global banking institutions. I excel in stakeholder engagement, regulatory compliance, and strategic consulting across APAC and global markets.

At Macquarie Bank, I served as an AML Analyst, where I conducted detailed transaction analysis to identify money laundering risks and led investigations and SAR reporting. My efforts in enhancing client risk profiling and collaborating across departments significantly strengthened AML frameworks. One of my notable achievements includes detecting a $3.5M fraud attempt, showcasing my ability to protect financial institutions from significant risks.

As a Freelance Capital Advisor, I advised startups and distressed firms on capital strategy, successfully securing over USD 54M in funding across multiple sectors. My experience as a co-founder of a fresh fish export business further honed my skills in sales, partner negotiations, and global trade representation. I am now seeking new opportunities where I can leverage my extensive background in finance and compliance.
