Beschreibung

I am a financial services professional with experience in operational risk, internal audit, regulatory compliance, and financial crime controls across multinational financial institutions. My work focuses on designing and enhancing risk frameworks, assessing controls, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards such as BaFin, DORA, Basel III/IV, SOX, and AML/KYC requirements.

I have experience working with end-to-end business processes, financial systems, and data flows, with a strong focus on identifying control gaps, strengthening governance, and improving operational resilience in complex environments. I also have exposure to technology-driven environments, including API-based financial systems and fintech infrastructure.

In addition, I have experience and understanding of KYC and AML processes, including customer due diligence, risk-based assessment, and monitoring control frameworks that support financial crime prevention and regulatory compliance.

I specialise in risk reporting, Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), and building dashboards using tools such as Power BI and Tableau to support data-driven decision-making for senior stakeholders. My goal is to help organisations strengthen control environments, enhance compliance, and manage operational and financial crime risk effectively in evolving financial and technology-driven ecosystems.
