Compliance & Risk Advisory
I design and implement practical, risk-based compliance programs across multiple regulatory frameworks and jurisdictions, drawing on extensive experience gained at leading global and boutique firms. These programs are tailored to each client's industry, operations, and risk profile, with particular depth in cross-border compliance matters across the Americas.
My practice supports organizations in navigating complex regulatory requirements while building sustainable programs that align with business objectives. I counsel clients on anti-corruption and anti-bribery compliance, design and implement anti-money laundering controls, and build internal monitoring systems across industries including financial services, technology, healthcare, infrastructure, aviation, exchanges, construction, and other regulated sectors.
I have expertise in sanctions compliance from an international perspective, including managing sanctions regimes where applicable law provided limited guidance. My work includes conducting risk assessments, implementing screening and monitoring procedures, training personnel, responding to apparent violations, and developing practical strategies to manage sanctions risk while preserving legally permissible business relationships.
Third-party risk management is a central element of my compliance engagements. I design and implement comprehensive due diligence and monitoring programs for clients operating in high-risk jurisdictions, including risk-based protocols, vendor approval processes, ongoing monitoring, and remediation or termination procedures, balancing regulatory requirements with commercial practicality.
My compliance program design also encompasses full-spectrum risk management strategies: revising internal policies on gifts, hospitality, bribery, corruption, IT security, certifications, reporting mechanisms, suspect transaction identification, follow-the-money procedures, and whistleblowing protocols; conducting risk assessments; creating training programs for multiple organizational levels; implementing internal controls; and developing monitoring and testing protocols.
I have delivered numerous training programs on anti-corruption, sanctions, anti-money laundering, and related topics, tailoring content and delivery to specific audiences and risk areas. These programs combined legal requirements with practical scenarios and red flags drawn from real-world experience, helping employees understand how to apply compliance principles in daily operations. My experience demonstrates that effective compliance requires more than policies—it requires fostering a culture of compliance throughout the organization.
