What I'm looking for

I am looking for a fast-paced compliance role in the crypto space that values innovation and financial inclusion.

I am an experienced and adaptable Financial Crime Compliance and Operations professional with over 9 years in the banking and telecommunications sectors. My career has been marked by a proven ability to deliver risk control, quality assurance, and customer service excellence across international teams. I have specialized in managing global standards issues, including electronic funds transfers (EFTs), wire transfers, and sanctions compliance-related activities within HSBC’s UK Banking Operations.

Throughout my tenure, I have developed strong skills in stakeholder engagement, process optimization, and regulatory compliance. I have successfully resolved 95% of flagged transactions without compliance breaches and streamlined high-volume payment workflows, reducing turnaround times by 30%. My goal is to transition into a dynamic compliance role in the crypto space with Binance, where I can leverage my extensive knowledge and keen eye for financial risk to support global sanctions advisory functions.

I’m also interested in blockchain and cryptocurrency trading as well.
