anti-money laundering, cft and sanctions programme manager

About

After completing my education and training in accounting, I started at one of South Africa's leading financial services institutions. During my tenure, I successfully transitioned from a strong financial background into a strategy management role specialising in mergers, business re-engineering and restructures and developing alternative distribution channel strategies. I spear headed the banks expansion in Rest of Africa and consulted to various parastatals on implementation of strategies and currently manage a large regulatory change programme. I am passionate about business coaching and have used my experience and skills in helping many disadvantaged business incubate and set-up their ventures.
