What I'm looking for

I seek a senior compliance/KYC role where I can lead teams, strengthen AML controls, drive process improvements, and protect the institution while delivering excellent client service.

I am a senior compliance and KYC professional with over 15 years of experience in AML Compliance, KYC Analysis, Customer Due Diligence, Enhanced Due Diligence, Transaction Monitoring, and end-to-end KYC processes. I hold a CAME (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Expert) certification and am trusted by senior management as a go-to problem solver and coordinator.

In leadership roles I have led KYC teams, overseen onboarding, reviewed analyst work for regulatory compliance, and implemented process improvements across banking and broking environments. I have driven operational improvements, supervised transaction monitoring and reporting, and managed complex AML investigations while maintaining strong client relationships.

I am passionate about fostering resilience in financial institutions, aligning cross-functional teams with business objectives, and delivering exceptional customer service while safeguarding organizations from financial risk.
