I am a career AML/CTF professional and financial crime specialist. I have been employed at AUSTRAC for 14 ½ years where I held numerous roles across three key areas: 1. Education. 2. Supervision.3. International Technical Assistance and Training. I am currently the Manager, for AUSTRAC’s Industry Education and Outreach team educating reporting entities in the obligations under Australia’s AML/CTF legislation. Prior to this, I held several roles over seven years in AUSTRAC’s International Technical Assistance and Training team, involved with over 10 programs of international technical assistance, training numerous delegations from 27 countries in international best practice in AML/CTF regulation and financial intelligence. I am a trained FATF Mutual Evaluation assessor, and I represented Australia at numerous Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering, Egmont Group and MENAFATF meetings. I also presented on AML/CTF for various foreign and domestic law enforcement agencies, Charles Sturt University and ACAMS. I also held several roles over five years in AUSTRAC’s Supervision branch, responsible for regulating the foreign and domestic banks, remitters, foreign exchange dealers, bullion dealers, cash in transit providers, and the gambling sectors. Through these roles, I developed an extensive understanding of international best practice in financial intelligence, AML/CTF regulation and AML/CTF supervisory techniques. I conducted over 80 AUSTRAC on-site and off-site compliance assessments, over 190 domestic and international education sessions, and I developed a proven track record for relationship management, program management, budget management, and managing high-performance teams. Prior to AUSTRAC, I was employed at BT Financial Group, where I specialised in wrap (platform accounts), geared wrap, margin lending, managed funds, superannuation and insurance and through this developed extensive knowledge of the share market, complex wealth generation products and the finance industry.
