About me
I am a globally recognized expert on anti-financial crime and compliance.
As an independent consultant, I have worked for the British Financial Conduct Authority, multiple systemically important banks, and a major US technology company (FAANG).
I hold a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and am a member of Transparency International’s Global Expert Network. My Ph.D. was an industrial Ph.D., meaning I spent half my time at a bank, building, deploying, and monitoring anti-financial crime models and systems in real-world production environments.
Next to my freelance consulting work, I serve as an external/part-time lecturer and researcher on financial crime and compliance at Copenhagen Business School, Denmark.
I have the right to work in both the European Union and the United Kingdom, the latter through a UK Global Talent Visa endorsed for Exceptional Talent by Tech Nation UK.
Feel free to reach out to me regarding both industry engagements and research collaborations at [email protected].
