About Andrew Arlotto

I\'m a financial crimes and sanctions policy specialist with seven years of experience working at the intersection of law, intelligence, and international security — across U.S. government agencies, multinational financial institutions, and the private sector.At Deloitte, embedded within the U.S. Department of State, I led the development of over 20 sanctions designation packages contributing to more than $6 billion in sanctions measures. That work spanned the full lifecycle: identifying targets aligned with U.S. national security objectives, building evidentiary records capable of withstanding legal challenge, coordinating with allied governments and interagency partners, and briefing senior Department of State leadership on enforcement priorities.Beyond sanctions, I bring deep expertise in AML investigations, financial due diligence, OSINT, maritime trade finance, and critical minerals supply chain risk — with hands-on experience using tools including Kpler, Windward AI, Equasis, LexisNexis, Moody\'s RDC, Actimize, and government intelligence platforms.I hold a Master\'s degree in International Security, am a dual Italian-American citizen with full, unrestricted EU work authorization, and am actively seeking opportunities in financial crimes consulting, sanctions advisory, or policy roles — with particular interest in European institutions and markets.Published researcher in illicit finance and international security. Always open to connecting with others working at the nexus of financial crime, sanctions, and geopolitical risk. Washington, D.C. — Open to EU relocation (Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Milan) and London.Outside of work: avid backpacker, BVB supporter - European football aficionado, and amateur triathlete.
