Financial crime controls leader at Barclays translating regulation into Group standards; previously eliminated 16,700+ daily false-positive alerts at NatWest.

United Kingdom
Message

At Barclays, I support Group-wide Financial Crime policy, standards and procedures change, translating regulation and risk appetite into practical guidance. I’m contributing to the annual refresh of Group policies and standards, including requirements for AMLA Regulation and AMLD 6.

At NatWest, I delivered Funds Transfer Regulation requirements in full and optimised Firco Soft payment screening, eliminating approximately 16,700+ daily false-positive manual alerts. At HSBC, I delivered a name-screening AI/ML alert adjudication solution that improved alert efficiency by 59%, and led sanctions and adverse media remediation that removed regulatory findings from the latest audit.

At Nordea, I owned the design and delivery of an AI-powered Transaction Monitoring and Mobile Payments Predictive AI programme, introducing a Financial Crime AI Model Governance framework with validation, bias mitigation and auditability. I bring experience in screening configuration and testing, regulatory change, and governance, supported by Firco Soft AML and sanctions screening accreditation and the ICA International Diploma in AML.
