Analyst Operations, Global Payments, Compliance, Finance

I have over 6 years of experience in banking and financial services, with a strong focus on analytical roles in operations, compliance, and global payment management. My background includes expertise in risk assessment, KYC/AML compliance, and financial analysis, developed through my roles in personal banking and operations management within a global banking institution. I have successfully managed complex data sets, streamlined operational processes, and ensured regulatory compliance.
