Professional Summary

From Financial Crime Detection to Business Analysis

3+ years at Société Générale in AML Transaction Monitoring — now making a focused, qualification-backed transition into Business Analysis.

I am a results-driven AML Transaction Monitoring professional with 3+ years at Société Générale, specialising in financial crime detection, KYC due diligence, and regulatory compliance within a global banking environment. I evaluate complex transaction alerts, conduct KYC reviews for high-net-worth and institutional clients, and ensure adherence to international AML frameworks.

I am now making a focused transition into Business Analysis, backed by an MBA in Finance & Information Systems, an IBM-Certified Business Analytics qualification, and a Business Analysis Specialisation from the University of Virginia. I also hold practical experience building application prototypes using Claude AI, enabling rapid visualisation of business requirements and process flows.

My deep understanding of AML and KYC workflows, compliance data, and financial services operations provides a strong domain foundation for BA roles in banking and FinTech. I am actively seeking a formal Business Analyst position where I can apply my qualifications, domain knowledge, and analytical mindset.
