Deep audit and compliance experience across Corporate Compliance, Conduct & Fiduciary Risk, Financial Crime (AML, Fraud), and Surveillance Programs (Market Abuse/Trade, E‑Comm, Voice); recognized for closing high-profile regulatory issues through strong regulator engagement, disciplined control testing, and analytics‑enabled root cause analysis and remediation.

Deep understanding of governance, risk, and control frameworks across the three lines of defense; hands‑on experience with audit methodologies, continuous monitoring, and issue validation—integrating analytics/AI controls (data lineage, model inventory and approvals, human‑in‑the‑loop oversight, and ongoing performance monitoring) to enhance assurance quality. Self‑starter with a high degree of ownership; thrives in fast‑paced environments; experienced in accelerating analytics adoption within audit/compliance through targeted pilots, agile delivery, and disciplined benefits tracking tied to reduced residual risk and improved control effectiveness.
