What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values teamwork and innovation, where I can lead teams to enhance operational efficiency and tackle financial crime challenges.

I am an AML Team Lead with over 5 years of experience in financial crime technology, specializing in advanced analytics and AI-driven solutions. My journey has been marked by a commitment to enhancing transaction monitoring and suspicious activity reporting, which has significantly improved operational efficiency and risk detection in my teams.

At WNS Global Services, I lead a team of analysts, guiding them to meet and exceed performance goals through effective mentorship and strategic planning. My leadership has fostered a collaborative environment that prioritizes high-quality results and continuous improvement. I have a proven track record of developing strategies that boost team productivity and exceed company targets.

Previously, I have held roles that required rigorous KYC processes and risk assessments, where I honed my skills in decision-making and problem-solving. My experience spans various positions, including Operations Team Leader and Senior Analyst, where I successfully managed teams and conducted thorough investigations into fraudulent activities. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to drive positive outcomes in the financial sector.
