As a qualified and dedicated AML professional with deep expertise across both HMRC and FCA-regulated environments, I bring a good blend of leadership, technical knowledge, and hands-on experience that aligns closely with the responsibilities outlined in your job description.
As detailed in my CV, I have over 15 years of experience in compliance and management. I hold an MBA in Corporate Finance, an ICA Certificate in KYC/CDD (passed with distinction), and I am currently studying for the ICA International Advanced Certificate in AML.
In my current role, I provide oversight to a team of AML analysts conducting enhanced due diligence (EDD) on a diverse portfolio of high-risk clients, including PEPs, sanctioned individuals, and high-net-worth investors operating in the UK, while serving as the 2nd line of defence. I am frequently called upon to provide guidance on applying a risk-based approach when assessing complex ownership structures—such as trusts, partnerships, funds, foundations, and both UK and overseas legal entities—and to implement effective measures to mitigate associated risks
Beyond technical expertise, I am experienced in advising senior stakeholders, drafting SARs and DAMLs, and designing and overseeing AML frameworks, including BWRA and RCSA processes. I ensure that policies and procedures are both compliant and practical. Additionally, I regularly consult for FCA-regulated financial institutions and SRA-regulated law firms on UK AML legislation.
