What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead risk, surveillance, controls assurance, and compliance initiatives where I can strengthen governance, improve control effectiveness, reduce false positives, and deliver data-driven risk insight for senior stakeholders.

At HSBC, I lead surveillance, controls, and risk-governance work across internal fraud and unauthorised trading conduct alerts. I conduct end-to-end investigations, test more than 50 surveillance and operational controls, and deliver audit-ready MI on alert trends, KRIs, emerging risks, and investigation outcomes.

I've improved control effectiveness by 25%, reduced repeat issues by 30%, and lowered false positives by 35% through thematic reviews, threshold recalibration, and close partnership with Compliance, Technology, Operations, and Risk. I also drive UAT, digital simplification, and GenAI-enabled automation that cut manual control effort by 40%.

My background spans OTC derivatives, trade support, confirmations, reconciliations, corporate actions, internal audit, and regulatory compliance across global banking operations.
