I can help your institution manage, remediate and defend merchant risk in complex high risk, high scrutiny environments.

With over five years experience in payments risk and compliance, I work across the full merchant or client lifecycle from onboarding and periodic reviews to high risk remediation, audit preparation and regulatory driven scrutiny. One of my most significant contributions was the complete overhaul of a merchant book consisting of 1300+ merchants in high risk verticals undertaken during a period of heightened regulatory enforcement.

This was not a routine exercise by far and included a wide range of complex cases, legacy decisions, inconsistent standards and evolving regulatory expectations. It meant conducting end to end reviews across the entire book, reassessing merchant risk, documenting changes and escalating where necessary.

The project was delivered successfully within the deadline window resulting in positive feedback from the regulator.

In my current role I am responsible for handling periodic merchant reviews, applying enhanced due diligence and scrutiny when required, and continuously monitoring and mitigating as much risk as possible while the company from financial harm.

I’m investigative by nature with a pragmatic, structured and direct approach to working. I refrain from cutting corners and put everything into reducing risk exposure.

I bring risk judgement, proven experience under regulatory scrutiny, calm handling of sensitive cases and a major team player with the ability to gel with global teams.
