Senior Financial Crime Investigator and Manager with 7 years of experience within Investigative Reporting (UK).

Sri Lanka
Message

At HSBC Electronic Data Processing [Lanka] Pvt Ltd, I developed and serve as product owner of an AI-powered prompt that summarizes investigative information and risk rationale, helping identify areas that need further validation in quality assessments.

In UK Investigative Reporting, I conducted complex investigations across commercial and personal customer portfolios, including AML referrals, unusual activity reports, dormant accounts, and law enforcement and regulatory requests. My commercial banking investigations included reviews of corporate customers associated with HSBC’s acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank.

I now conduct quality assessments across investigation types for the UK team and communicate findings and emerging risks to stakeholders. I was recognized as Investigative Reporting’s Manager of the Year in 2026.
