I am a passionate Compliance and FinTech enthusiast on a mission to help FinTech and Blockchain startups create more affordable and accessible financial services. My goal is to facilitate a global shift in how we move, store, and exchange money, ensuring that paying and getting paid is simple, secure, and inclusive. With a deep understanding of the complexities in this space, I’m committed to building a future where financial technology empowers individuals and businesses, particularly in emerging markets. 

I specialize in helping companies, founders, and compliance teams navigate the often-daunting world of regulations, compliance, and licensing. My approach centers around Just-in-Time Compliance, a methodology that focuses on implementing practical, efficient compliance strategies rather than getting bogged down by unnecessary “Just-in-Case” red tape. I believe compliance should enable growth, not stifle it, and I work to strike a balance between meeting regulatory demands and keeping operations lean. 

I’m particularly passionate about supporting FinTechs in emerging markets that often face tighter budgets and limited resources for compliance. Through strategic cost allocation and effective team management, I help these companies build strong compliance frameworks without breaking the bank. Additionally, I assist in hiring and managing compliance teams, ensuring they have the right talent and structure to succeed in a competitive industry. 

Mentoring and teaching young compliance professionals is another key focus of mine. I find great fulfillment in helping the next generation of specialists grow their skills and confidence, guiding them through the intricacies of anti-financial crime compliance and regulatory challenges. My ultimate mission is to empower FinTech startups to scale responsibly while delivering transformative financial solutions worldwide.
