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.
