What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead compliance, financial crime and governance for payments/fintech or cross-border financial services—building practical AML/CFT and merchant risk controls, partnering with boards and executives, and delivering regulatory remediation that enables safe growth.

I’m an international compliance, governance and financial crime leader with 14+ years across banking, asset management, investment services, fintech, payments and technology-enabled businesses. I build and strengthen compliance frameworks—AML/CFT controls, merchant risk models, governance documentation, and regulatory operating models—so firms can grow across multiple jurisdictions with robust governance.

Across the UK, UAE and cross-border markets, I support FCA/DFSA/FSRA/SCA-related compliance environments, lead compliance monitoring and testing, and advise senior leadership on regulatory risk and remediation. Recently, as Fractional Head of Legal, Risk & Compliance, I’ve led governance and compliance frameworks for cross-border payments infrastructure, reduced AML false positives by 30%, and developed enhanced due diligence (KYB/EDD) frameworks for higher-risk sectors including iGaming, Forex, Digital Assets and cross-border digital services.
