@ufomaawodeha
I build and operate AML/CTF programs for regulated crypto, fintech, and financial services businesses.
What I'm looking for
At Nilos Canada, I built a comprehensive AML/CTF compliance program for a FINTRAC-registered cross-border stablecoin remittance business within 90 days.
I own CDD/EDD, counterparty due diligence, sanctions, PEP and adverse media screening, transaction monitoring, suspicious activity investigations, and Suspicious Transaction Report preparation. I use Chainalysis, TRM Labs, and ComplyAdvantage to support blockchain analytics and financial-crime controls.
Previously at CIBC, I investigated fraud and AML alerts while supporting transaction monitoring and sanctions screening in a regulated banking environment.
Over a decade with Morgan Consultancy Services, I advised more than 300 Canadian fintech and regulated financial institution clients on AML/CFT program design, policy authorship, audit readiness, control effectiveness, and compliance training. I partner with Product and Engineering teams to translate regulatory requirements into practical governance tools and workflows.
