Audit Manager

ITSecurity AnalystFinanceCompliance OfficerAuditor

I am an experienced audit and compliance consultant with over a decade of expertise in internal auditing, risk management, and regulatory compliance. My career includes a senior management role at FXCM, where I led key initiatives in internal controls, governance frameworks, and audit operations across global markets. During this time, I played a critical role in enhancing organizational resilience and maintaining regulatory integrity. I hold the CISA certification from ISACA, which reflects my strong technical foundation in auditing, information systems assurance, and risk evaluation. My work is deeply grounded in international best practices and compliance standards, and I specialize in translating complex regulatory obligations into practical, actionable frameworks for businesses. My professional experience includes significant involvement with key European regulatory frameworks, including the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2), and the upcoming EU AI Act. I also bring hands-on knowledge of industry standards such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), particularly in high-stakes environments like fintech, trading, and payment services. I approach every project with a strategic, compliance-first mindset. My goal is not just to ensure regulatory alignment, but to help organizations build sustainable control environments that support long-term growth. I bring a global outlook with a strong focus on EU directives, and work closely with stakeholders to ensure that compliance efforts are integrated seamlessly into business operations. If you're looking for a partner who understands both the regulatory landscape and the operational realities of your industry, I’d be happy to connect and explore how I can support your next initiative.
