My expertise spans the full compliance lifecycle — from customer onboarding and KYC/CDD to Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD), sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) filing, with a focus on identifying and escalating financial crime risk.
Prior to City Exchange, I served as Compliance Analyst at Deniba International Exchange, where I built deep expertise in UAE Central Bank regulatory standards and FATF recommendations. I continue to invest in professional development through industry-recognized AML/KYC certifications.
