Associate Director @ Julius Baer
About
With a strong foundation in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Compliance and Financial Crime Prevention, I bring over 8 years of combined experience in both consultancy and industry. My journey began as a Forensic Consultant at Deloitte, where I worked on high profile investigations, multi jurisdiction asset searches, and tackled complex financial crime cases. During this time, I collaborated with a diverse portfolio of clients including: government entities, global banks, and leading tech companies. Eager to expand my expertise, I transitioned from consultancy to industry and currently works as a Senior Compliance Officer within Julius Baer's Financial Crime Compliance department. In this role, I've been able to integrate my investigative skills with a deep understanding of operational and regulatory challenges in the financial services sector. Passionate for continuous learning, I hold both certifications as a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE). I also thrive on solving complex challenges and staying ahead in the ever-evolving regulatory landscape.
