About me
Intro
I am a Compliance Officer with six years of experience in financial crime prevention, specializing in customer due diligence, sanctions screening, and transaction monitoring. I have worked on complex cases involving high-risk clients, cross-border activity, and layered ownership structures where risk is not always immediately visible. My experience includes end-to-end client due diligence, risk assessment, and the identification and escalation of suspicious activity. I have also contributed to strengthening control frameworks and improving how financial crime risks are detected and managed in practice. I work closely with Legal, Risk, Operations, and Fraud teams, and I am comfortable handling cases that require deeper investigation and sound judgment. I focus on applying a practical, risk-based approach to ensure compliance processes are both effective and aligned with regulatory expectations.
