Summary

While bringing over 20 years of professionalism, dedication, and proven leadership to the team, I also bring a true sense of passion and vision. I believe these guiding principles are foundation pieces and are truly fundamental to any Compliance and AML program and its success. These principles have helped me lead countless teams and several banks through Consent Orders, MRA’s, audits, and remediation efforts. These principles and leadership have been vital to any/all successful teams, processes, and firms that I have personally impacted and look to continue in that mission.
