About Me

I am a Compliance and Risk leader with experience building AML, Fraud, and regulatory programs for global fintech and banking organizations. Currently at Grey, I built the compliance framework from the ground up, supporting cross-border accounts, stablecoin flows, and global payout infrastructure across multiple jurisdictions. My background includes roles at Standard Chartered, Citi, RBC, and high-growth fintech environments, with hands-on responsibility for licensing, transaction monitoring, safeguarding, sanctions, and regulatory engagement across North America, Europe, and emerging markets. I specialize in building scalable compliance programs leveraging house built AI Agents that enable product growth while meeting complex regulatory expectations, particularly in payments, crypto, and digital asset ecosystems. I enjoy working at the intersection of regulation, technology, and product, and I am open to opportunities with global fintech and crypto companies. Authorized to work in Canada.
