Extensive experience at working in Global Banks in Malta & the UK as well as leading the Know Your Customer (KYC) function across prestigious Global Banks, my career has been driven by a fervent belief in the necessity of a technology-forward approach to address the complexities of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) regulations.Holding certifications from both the International Compliance Association (ICA) and the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (CAMS), I specialize in guiding Global Banks and Corporations through the intricacies of enhancing their AML/CTF compliance programs with intelligent process automation. My expertise lies in pinpointing manual, low-skill processes that consume the valuable time of compliance analysts, thereby enabling significant savings in both time and cost for my clients. This focus not only streamlines customer onboarding and ongoing monitoring but also accelerates the remediation process, leading to improved revenue timelines and heightened customer satisfaction.My extensive background, including pivotal roles at industry giants such as Barclays, HSBC, NatWest, J.P. Morgan, Thomson Reuters, Encompass and Pegasystems, has equipped me with a profound understanding of the challenges faced by leaders in KYC compliance. This experience forms the foundation of my approach to crafting innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the sector.
