SENIOR AML COMPLIANCE MANAGER

I am a retired AML professional with a vast experience in all aspects of AML transaction monitoring.

I have worked in various areas of the AML Monitoring Operations from managing analysts directly to managing teams of analysts to managing the Risk and Control/Financial activities of the AML Monitoring Operations and then onto managing the quality assurance program that supported the AML investigations operations across nine locations in eight countries.

I lead teams to identify and address risk and quality in the AML industry. I coach and develop teams on AML risks and trends. I am an experienced professional in AML regulations and requirements.
