What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an immediate-join role where I can strengthen AML/KYC and transaction monitoring, use research tools for precise due diligence, and drive compliance process improvements through clear requirements and stakeholder alignment.

I’m a Business Analyst and AML/KYC specialist focused on compliance operations, where I’ve enhanced Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols. At KPMG Global Services, I used advanced research tools like Lexis-Nexis and Bloomberg to strengthen diligence and precision in risk consulting, while working within regulatory frameworks to support financial integrity.

I’ve also led end-to-end change initiatives by defining scope, objectives, and deliverables, capturing requirements through stakeholder interviews, and running gap analysis to improve customer experience and operational effectiveness. I designed and implemented automated systems for real-time customer data monitoring, built risk management frameworks, and conducted AML/KYC rolling and periodic reviews with sanctions screening, PEP identification, and risk assessments to mitigate potential threats.
