With over 13 years in the banking industry, I’ve built a career grounded in both operational excellence and regulatory integrity. Starting from branch operations to branch management, and now leading the compliance oversight for international branches, I’ve developed a comprehensive view of how banking functions — from customer interaction to cross-border regulatory governance. Currently, I oversee the Compliance function for international banking branches, ensuring effective implementation of AML/CFT, sanctions, and regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions. My role focuses on risk assessment, advisory, and strengthening compliance culture across international markets. I’m passionate about bridging business goals with regulatory expectations — helping institutions grow responsibly while maintaining trust and transparency. I believe in pragmatic compliance, collaborative leadership, and continuous learning.
