With an extensive 19-year career in Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) compliance, I currently serve as the Senior Project Manager at FLE Compliance since April 2020. In this capacity, I contribute significantly to global AML/CFT initiatives, collaborating with subject matter experts across diverse industries such as extractives, banking, real estate, legal, and cryptocurrency. My role involves shaping robust internal AML/CFT policies, processes, and controls, with a focus on risk assessment, regulatory compliance, Customer Due Diligence (CDD), transaction monitoring, record-keeping, training, awareness, suspicious transaction reporting, internal controls, and deploying compliance tools. As the Financial Crime Senior Project Manager, my influence extends to global programs targeting the prevention of financial crimes, establishing strong connections with external stakeholders, and actively participating in research reports, workshops, and knowledge-sharing initiatives on AML compliance for institutions and businesses.

In my tenure as the International Business Development Manager at FLE Learning Inc. from December 2013 to March 2020, I organized approximately 200 academic conferences in the USA, UK, and Canada. This role demanded seamless cooperation with conference committee members and journal editorial boards, showcasing my organizational and leadership abilities. Managing and supervising a team of 15-20 people, I ensured the smooth completion of conference-related duties, demonstrating my leadership and coordination talents.

From June 2006 to September 2009, I worked as an associate solicitor at Murria Solicitors in the United Kingdom. Serving as a deputy Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO), I made substantial contributions to the establishment of AML/CFT policies and controls. Responsibilities included customer due diligence, internal AML/CFT investigations, and audit and regulatory assistance. Additionally, I managed the immigration India team as an associate solicitor, providing competent advice on complicated UK immigration issues. During my tenure, I have also worked in the financial crime department, which has enhanced my ability to assist attorneys and barristers on complex money laundering issues.

From April 2005 to March 2011, I served as the QLTT Project Leader at FLE Legal Education in India. In this capacity, I formed key connections, conducted substantial field research, and established the Qualified Lawyers Transfer Test (QLTT) in India.
