I am a fraud and compliance professional with extensive experience in internal audit and large-scale fraud investigations, involving physical and communication security, regulatory compliance, financial security, and anti-money laundering. I have deployed surveillance, collected evidence, analyzed data and findings, and improved processes and detection methods to reduce fraud and loss. During my career, I have developed and executed multiple anti-money laundering programs to protect clients and have conducted anti-fraud training programs for employees and contractors.

I take time to train, coach and mentor each team member for career growth and success. My experience has been limited to my native country, and the global clients with whom I have consulted.
