What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values compliance, and encourages innovative solutions.

I am a highly enthusiastic and detail-oriented professional with a strong background in regulatory compliance, risk management, and business analytics. My academic credentials include a Master's in Business Administration with a focus on Financial Technology and Data Analytics from Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, which has equipped me with the necessary skills to excel in dynamic environments.

In my recent role as a Compliance Reporting Officer at Optimus Capital Management, I have honed my abilities in client database management, compliance reporting, and transaction monitoring. I have successfully prepared various compliance reports and maintained meticulous records, ensuring adherence to regulatory standards. My previous experience as an AML and CFT Officer at Revolut Bank of London further solidified my expertise in developing and implementing compliance strategies, conducting risk assessments, and monitoring suspicious transactions.

I am passionate about promoting operational effectiveness and long-term prosperity within organizations. My goal is to leverage my skills in compliance and analytics to contribute to a forward-thinking company that values integrity and innovation.
