My focus includes global sanctions, AML (Anti-Money Laundering), the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), OFAC, Anti-Bribery & Corruption (ABC), and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT). I collaborate with cross-functional teams, including IT, Audit, Regulators, Operations, and Compliance, to develop solutions that mitigate risk while supporting business growth. I excel in managing risk assessments, internal controls evaluation, and compliance monitoring. My experience includes implementing business controls to address financial crime risks, enhancing control environments, and supporting regulatory exams and audits. I specialize in issue management, swiftly identifying and resolving compliance issues. I lead efforts to develop BSA/AML compliance programs, oversee suspicious activity monitoring, and ensure customer onboarding processes meet regulatory standards. I manage and mentor teams, fostering skill development and promoting operational excellence. My leadership approach is collaborative, empowering teams to meet compliance objectives. I bring a Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) perspective, ensuring platforms and tools integrate seamlessly into broader compliance programs. My focus on process improvement helps streamline frameworks and resolve challenges efficiently. I stay proactive by keeping up with regulatory changes and addressing emerging risks. I specialize in communicating complex compliance issues to senior management, regulators, and business leaders to ensure clear understanding and proactive solutions. Currently, I am seeking new opportunities in Financial Crime platform, AML, Sanctions, and Risk Management to help organizations navigate complex regulatory landscapes.
