What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my AML expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on compliance, risk management, and team collaboration.

I am an experienced AML expert with a diverse background in various sectors, including banks, insurance companies, and cryptocurrency exchanges. My expertise lies in AML consulting, strategic planning, operational management, and system enhancement. As an ACAMS External Subject Matter Expert, I have contributed to the translation review of the ACAMS Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) in Korean, showcasing my commitment to enhancing AML practices.

Currently, I lead the KYC team at Naver Financial, where I manage KYC operations and collaborate with multiple departments to stabilize and enhance our processes. My previous roles include leading AML teams at Guardian Holdings and a Blockchain Company, where I successfully implemented AML systems and conducted regular training for employees. I am passionate about driving compliance and risk management initiatives that protect financial institutions and their customers.
