About

I am a dynamic and detail-oriented professional with diverse experience in Financial Crime Compliance, Regulatory Compliance Operations, Investment Banking Operations, and Insurance Auditing. I am specialised in the UK AML and KYC frameworks, including MLRO responsibilities, SWIFT payment processing, and global wire transfer investigations across the US and APAC regions. I have a proven track record in AML/KYC reviews, transaction monitoring, and ensuring regulatory compliance aligned with FATF standards. I have a solid track record of managing complex payment workflows, resolving UTA and BCRN discrepancies, and maintaining compliance with global regulatory standards (AML, KYC, OFAC, FATF). My experience includes a strong focus on investigating high-value cross-border transactions, streamlining payment exceptions, and strengthening anti-financial crime frameworks. Additionally, I have significant experience with the US Workers’ Compensation Bureau (NCCI and state bureaus), adeptly handling regulatory criticism, compliance filings, and audits. I am skilled in integrating generative AI and prompt engineering to enhance business productivity. My cross-functional expertise includes: - Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer (AML/KYC) - SWIFT payments and Cross-Border Wire Transfers (aligned with BSA/OFAC) - Regulatory Operations for Investment Banking and Insurance - Workers’ Compensation Bureau Compliance (NCCI and state levels) As a LinkedIn Content Creator, I decode complex FCC and AML topics into digestible LinkedIn posts for compliance professionals who think beyond the manual. With hands-on experience across the UK, US, and APAC financial ecosystems, I bring a practitioner's lens to every piece of content that helps you stay informed, compliant, and forward-thinking. I am always open to connecting with like-minded professionals in the fields of financial crime compliance, regulatory operations, auditing, and fintech. Let's connect, whether you're tackling cross-border compliance challenges, exploring the integration of AI in the financial processes, or navigating complex regulatory environments. Together, we can collaborate and share insights that drive growth and progress.
