About Carlos Lucena Bolivar

As a Consultant at Capco, my work focuses on KYC, AML, risk management, and financial compliance. I contribute to regulatory adherence by conducting CDD/EDD reviews, transaction monitoring, and customer identification processes while analyzing customer transactions and validating compliance with profiles. I also assist with identifying potential SDN matches, examining OFAC alerts, and compiling documentation to support analyses. Lastly, I\'ve worked in RCSA testing of controls for TPRM and BSA/AML operations.I am currently pursuing dual Master’s degrees in Applied Economics and Data Analytics at Boston College, which strengthens my ability to deliver data-driven insights. With a Bachelor\'s degree in Economics from the University of Central Florida and demonstrated proficiency in Excel and Pivot Tables, I aim to leverage my education and skills to support robust regulatory frameworks and effective risk mitigation strategies in financial services.
