What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to lead a Ghana compliance function, strengthen AML/CFT and financial-crime controls, and progress toward formal MLRO responsibilities. I'm particularly interested in fintech, digital assets, VASP regulation, enterprise risk, and compliance-by-design.

I've strengthened AML/CFT oversight, internal controls, and regulatory governance across MobileMoney LTD and MTN Ghana's mobile financial services operations. At MobileMoney LTD, I governed 90+ policies and processes, partnered on controls for Ahomka Loan, Xpress Loan, and Bosea Loan, and achieved a 93% control assessment score.

I supported AMLRO programme execution at MTN Ghana by reviewing transaction-monitoring investigations and STR recommendation packs, coordinating Bank of Ghana and Financial Intelligence Centre engagement evidence, and implementing risk-based CDD/EDD controls for more than 150,000 agents and merchants. I also delivered AML and compliance training to 400+ employees and led risk assessments across mobile money, transfers, agent services, and third parties.

I'm CAMS-certified and bring hands-on experience in financial crime controls, policy design, privacy, enterprise risk, and fintech product compliance. I'm building further capability in digital-asset and VASP regulation, blockchain financial-crime typologies, and wallet and transaction risk analysis as I prepare to lead a Ghana compliance function and assume MLRO responsibilities subject to regulatory appointment.
