Compliance Officer & KYC Analyst
Verified
I am experienced professional over 10 years of experience in the banking sector and more than 4 years in IT. I am confident that my background in risk management and compliance, particularly in AML/CFT and Sanctions areas, will allow me to contribute effectively to the development and execution of a robust compliance framework.
In my previous roles at prominent Latvian banks such as JSC "Swedbank", JSC "SEB bank" and JSC "Citadele bank", I contributed to the design and implementation of compliance programs, performed risk assessments, and ensured adherence to regulatory requirements. I have arranged pan-Baltic compliance activities, including managing strategic risk assessments, control testing, and providing consultancy.
Based on my experience implementing robust risk management system at two major banks, I gained an in-depth understanding of the system, which led to an opportunity to join the IT company that develops and supplies the system to non-banks and banks. This move emphasizes the transition of my career. It allowed me to deepen my knowledge about legislation in other jurisdictions and expertise in AML/CFT and sanctions compliance, starting with obtaining the Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (ACAMS) certification. In this role, I contributed to designing from a scratch and establishing processes audited by the Bank of Latvia and assisting in the successful acquisition of a banking license for a non-bank customer—an experience I found particularly rewarding.
Additionally, based on insights I’ve gained from industry conferences, it is clear that the demand for combinations of compliance and technology specialists will continue to grow.More...
