Credit & Risk Control (Listed Derivatives) | Ex-Commercial Banking

Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

About

I am a Business Graduate with experience across commercial banking and derivatives risk control, bringing a solid foundation in risk management, corporate client onboarding, and capital market processes. In my current role as a Credit & Risk Control Executive, I support credit assessment and real-time risk monitoring within a derivatives trading environment, where I monitor client positions, manage special margin requirements, and ensure adherence to trading limits. This experience has provided me with valuable exposure to derivatives markets, leverage dynamics, and real-time risk monitoring, strengthening my ability to assess financial risk from a market-oriented perspective. Previously, as a Business Associate in commercial banking, I worked closely with relationship managers to support corporate client onboarding, due diligence, and ongoing KYC reviews, including handling clients with complex ownership structures and high business risk clients. This experience strengthened my understanding of the regulatory frameworks governing the Malaysian banking sector and enhanced my ability to operate in a structured and detail-oriented environment. Across both roles, I have developed a strong foundation in credit risk assessment, client due diligence (CDD/EDD), and derivatives risk monitoring, supported by hands-on experience in capital market operations and margin management. I am particularly interested in opportunities that allow me to deepen my understanding of financial analysis, credit assessment, and risk management, and I am motivated by roles that require analytical thinking, structured problem-solving, and continuous learning. I am always open to connecting with professionals in the industry to exchange insights and explore new opportunities.
