Michele Holmgren is currently a Supervisor for FIU Investigations at Commerce Bank. She has spent the last 17 years in the financial industry working in retail, fraud detection, and Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (BSA/AML) investigations. She leads a team that ensures the bank complies with BSA/AML and OFAC regulations by monitoring for suspicious activities and global sanctions compliance.
