I acquired a certain experience within banking: Société Générale, BCEN-Eurobank, HSBC Private Bank.
These different missions allowed me to develop an expertise in :
- drafting contracts (French, English)
- advising the front office
- recovering of debts
- compliance / anti-money laundering (AML)
Since 2006, I'm workinf as an "Analyst KYC". With this role I'm acquiering new expertise notably in financing and European regulation such as MiDIF.
In April, 2007, I'll work in a French bank in London for 1 year. After my contract, I would like to stay some years in London to increase my competences in compliance/AML.
