Vanevola Detta

I am an accomplished Governance, Risk, and Compliance Specialist with a demonstrable experience identifying and mitigating risks across multiple jurisdictions in East, West, Central, and Southern Africa. As a versatile, resourceful, and performance-driven professional committed to strengthening the integrity of our financial ecosystem, I interrogate financial transactions and processes, identify avenues for process improvement, and ensure timely and effective implementation of solutions. Hence, I am confident that I can provide expert advice in the development and improvement of the AML/CFT/CPF regimes and help build capacity of Windsor brokers to fight financial crime.

I am a Certified Public Accountant of Kenya (CPA-K), Certified Anti Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS), and pursuing the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) certification with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Statistics (Econometrics specialization). Capitalizing on my education and 10+ years of experience, I have acquired a deep understanding of financial institutions' regulatory environment and developed expertise in investment and financial analysis, bank operations, internal controls, risk, and compliance management. Beyond my technical expertise, I am an effective communicator, a strong leader, and a reliable team player — working well with other stakeholders across all organizational levels.

Leveraging my presentation, interpersonal, and leadership skills, I convey clear messages, coordinate team tasks, and motivate continual growth for a highly productive team.
