About

Professional summary

I am a results-driven compliance specialist with more than five years of experience in due diligence, KYC/KYB, and onboarding operations within fintech.

I specialize in AML/CFT compliance, sanctions and PEP screening, customer risk assessment, adverse-media research, and UBO ownership-structure analysis.

In my current team lead role, I manage onboarding activities, support SLA and KPI performance, review complex partner documentation, and help resolve high-risk and remediation cases.

I translate regulatory requirements into practical controls, standard operating procedures, and cross-functional workflows. I have supported external audits, corrective action plans, and KYC control-system improvements.

I have onboarded licensed PSPs, domestic and cross-border non-regulated entities, and partners across global English- and non-English-speaking markets. I handle confidential data with discretion and collaborate closely with product, technology, account management, and compliance teams.
