I bring over 17 years of combined professional experience across financial services, compliance, and client relationship management. My expertise covers client onboarding, AML, KYC due diligence, and regulatory risk management across EMEA, where I have supported organisations in meeting governance standards, audit readiness, and mitigating financial crime risks while building and maintaining trusted, strong, and long-term client relationships.
In addition to the roles listed on my CV, I hold extensive banking experience (2007–2015) in customer portfolio management, operational risk, and regulatory reporting, which provided me with a strong foundation in customer service, account management, and branch operations. During this period, I worked directly with clients on credit, investment, and relationship management while ensuring adherence to strict AML/KYC requirements. These years in frontline and control functions built a strong foundation that I continue to apply in my compliance, risk, and onboarding responsibilities today.
I am skilled in managing complex cases, liaising with regulators, and aligning compliance requirements with commercial priorities. My career has consistently centred on ensuring integrity, trust, and excellence in client service, making me a strong asset for roles that require both compliance rigour and relationship management.
