I'm a UK certified Financial Crime & Compliance specialist. I have appeared for respective proctored exams in London and was awarded 'Merit Award'​ by International Compliance Association (UK) which was presented to me by the Director - Serious Fraud Office (UK).

Till recently, I've been managing Client Onboarding & Wealth Management unit at a European firm in EU. Preceding this, I was Head at a Dubai (UAE) consultancy, where I was responsible for Financial Crime Risk. My current prime area of focus is KYC, Wealth Management and Migration Consultancy, while formerly, I was more focused on Financial Crime Prevention with emphasis on Fraud Prevention, Investigation and Mitigation, Compliance & Risk, KYC (CDD/EDD), Anti Money Laundering, ABC and Credit Risk Consultancy.

I have been blessed to have more than 2 decades of Mideast banking, compliance n management consultancy experience, during which, I have worked with several major - local and international - banks at varied responsibility level in Credit Policy, Sales & Marketing, Retail Credit, Fraud, Collections & Legal. Being well certified in my area of interest, I'm pursuing further certifications from different associations in UK and USA and to remain current on professional affairs I'm a member of several world-renowned associations. To share the knowledge gained over the years, I had been enlisted by a Dubai based institute as 'Master Trainer'​ for training professionals in 'Fraud Prevention & Investigations'.

Personally, I'm a proud resident of my adopted land in Europe, which I call home for 8yrs n had a lovely time for more than 3 decades in UAE while being brought-up in Mideast. I looove to travel, explore new places, an ardent tech follower, unfaltering reader of items related to professional interest, keeps fit, earnestly looks forward to finding time for completing my MSc and yearn to be able to play decent squash and golf (trainers welcomed).
