What I'm looking for

I am seeking a mid-level operations or wealth-management role where I can apply AML/compliance, reconciliation, and process-improvement skills in a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am an experienced wealth management analyst with strong domain knowledge in asset transfers, reconciliations, invoice processing and end-to-end trade lifecycle operations. I have worked with global firms on AML/KYC, forecasting, budgeting, and risk escalation while improving STP rates and building macros to streamline processes.

I bring hands-on experience across onboarding to offboarding, payments, and client commission management, with a track record of awards and cross-border project exposure. I focus on accuracy, timely settlements, and collaboration with relationship managers and authorizers to reduce risk and improve operational efficiency.
