With over 20 years of specialized experience in risk, fraud prevention, payments, and compliance within the fintech and regulated online payments industry, My career has been dedicated to building robust, scalable risk frameworks that protect businesses while enabling seamless transactional growth — particularly in high-risk e-commerce, cryptocurrency, and cross-border payment environments.

Throughout my career I have operated at the intersection of technology, regulation, and business strategy. Key highlights include:

Extensive hands-on expertise with leading third-party risk tools, including rule creation, optimisation, and insight extraction in Chainalysis (blockchain analytics) and Sift (fraud prevention), enabling proactive threat detection and significantly reduced false-positive rates.

End-to-end merchant onboarding and compliance leadership: KYC/AML, PEP & sanctions screening, document authenticity verification, merchant account and multi-currency wallet creation, and regulatory policy implementation across multiple jurisdictions.

Proven ability to translate complex risk requirements into actionable technical briefs for development teams, driving system enhancements that improve both efficiency and effectiveness of fraud and risk controls.

12 years as a certified Risk Facilitator combined with formal Transformational Leadership training, allowing me to lead cross-functional teams through change, foster collaboration, and embed a strong risk-aware culture in Agile environments.

Deep knowledge of payment backend integrations, API testing, credential configuration, and live-environment monitoring, complemented by advanced data analysis and reporting skills that support proactive risk mitigation.

I thrive in fast-moving, regulated environments where an eye for detail, strategic thinking, and the ability to balance risk with commercial opportunity are essential. Having worked extensively in online e-commerce, banking products, and blockchain ecosystems, I am confident I can make an immediate and lasting impact and continue to scale securely and innovate in the payments and fraud space.
