Background

About Ragini Maggon

I am a Financial Crime Compliance and Technology leader with over 15 years of experience working at the intersection of global banking, regulatory compliance and technology transformation.My career has focused on strengthening financial crime control frameworks through the modernisation of screening systems, the adoption of advanced compliance technologies, and the delivery of large-scale transformation initiatives across international banking environments. As financial crime risks continue to evolve, I am particularly interested in how technology, data and intelligent automation can enhance the effectiveness, resilience and scalability of compliance programmes.Currently serving as Senior Director within Financial Crime Surveillance Operations at Standard Chartered Bank, I lead global screening product initiatives supporting Sanctions, Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) and Adverse Media risk frameworks. My work centres on the evolution of enterprise screening platforms, including the integration of AI-enabled decisioning capabilities and the implementation of modern screening architectures designed to improve detection capability while reducing operational complexity.Throughout my career I have worked closely with cross-functional teams across technology, compliance, operations and risk governance to deliver complex programmes that modernise financial crime infrastructure while improving operational efficiency and risk management outcomes. My experience includes the global implementation of screening platforms such as Fircosoft and the integration of AI-driven decisioning solutions including Silent Eight.I have also had the opportunity to engage with regulators including the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), supporting the implementation of financial crime frameworks aligned with regulatory expectations across multiple jurisdictions.I am particularly passionate about contributing to the continued evolution of financial crime compliance — moving from traditional rule-based approaches towards more intelligent, technology-enabled control environments that strengthen financial crime risk management across global banking organisations.Areas of focus include Financial Crime Technology and RegTech transformation, Sanctions Screening and Transaction Monitoring systems, AI and automation in compliance operations, Global Screening Platform Strategy and Implementation, Regulatory Compliance and Risk Governance, and Cross-functional leadership across technology, risk and operations
