As a Compliance and Legal professional with over two decades of experience, I specialize in navigating the complex regulatory landscapes of banking and finance. My journey began in Afghanistan, where I developed a deep understanding of Legal, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT), and Islamic Finance. Over the years, I led initiatives that streamlined compliance procedures, reduced regulatory risks, and ensured my organizations stayed ahead of ever-evolving global regulations. My expertise extends across both conventional and Islamic banking sectors, and I have successfully implemented compliance programs that align with international standards.I have managed cross-functional teams and collaborated with key stakeholders to ensure compliance programs are effective and sustainable. By instituting robust training programs and compliance communication strategies, I have fostered a culture of compliance that led to a substantial increase in compliance awareness across the organization.I hold an LL.B (Hons) in Shari'ah & Law, an MBA in Public Administration and CAMS certification, and I am moving forward to achieve advanced CAMS. Furthermore, I have been a member of ACAMS (Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists) since 2019.My passion lies in helping organizations navigate compliance challenges, driving growth while safeguarding their integrity in a rapidly changing regulatory world.
