About Janaki Guddeti

I am an ACAMS-certified Financial Crime, Payments Compliance, and Risk Operations professional with 10+ years of experience across Amazon, Airbnb, and Wells Fargo. I specialize in solving complex fraud, AML, KYC, sanctions, and data-quality challenges while building scalable processes and controls for high-growth global organizations.My career has been defined by leading cross-functional programs, collaborating with Product, Engineering, and Data Science teams, and transforming ambiguous risk and compliance problems into structured, measurable solutions. I bring a strong track record of improving investigation efficiency, reducing financial loss, strengthening regulatory alignment, and designing operational frameworks that support both customer experience and compliance rigor.Across my roles, I have delivered tangible impact, from reducing chargebacks by $4.5M annually, improving investigative tooling, enhancing SAR accuracy, and elevating data integrity for AML and sanctions systems, to driving automation initiatives that save hundreds of operational hours each year. I excel at breaking down technical, regulatory, and operational issues into actionable program plans with clear milestones and outcomes.I combine deep domain expertise with analytical thinking, stakeholder management, project execution, and a problem-solving mindset that aligns closely with risk, compliance, and technical program environments.
