Greetings, fellow compliance adventurer! Since 2016, I’ve been diving deep into the crypto world, navigating the twists and turns of financial crime like a true digital detective. I kicked off my journey at Ciphertrace, the very first blockchain analytics company, where I put my investigator hat on and dug into the murky depths of crypto transactions. After that, I leveled up and joined the mighty Binance as an AML Subject Matter Expert, overseeing compliance for the Lithuania entity. My responsibilities? Oh, just the usual: managing a team of 10 stellar compliance analysts, creating and updating procedures to keep up with local laws, and handling an FIU audit where I played a key role. No pressure, right? Not one to shy away from a challenge, I then made my way to the Bank of Lithuania, joining the AML supervision sector. From onsite to offsite audits, I've tackled it all, ensuring banks, e-money institutions, and credit unions stay on the straight and narrow. And when MiCA licensing came knocking, I was right there in the thick of it, helping shape the process like a compliance sculptor. If you’re looking for a professional who knows their way around crypto compliance, audit adventures, and a good AML pun, you’ve found the right person. Let’s connect – the blockchain battleground awaits!
