I help FinTech, payments and cryptocurrency companies build, assess and strengthen practical AML/CFT, KYC/KYB, sanctions, transaction-monitoring and regulatory compliance programmes.
With 10+ years of experience across financial services, cross-border payments, digital assets and regulated technology businesses, I have worked as a Head of Compliance, MLRO, Product Compliance Manager, financial-crime specialist and risk adviser.
My work goes beyond writing policies. I translate regulatory requirements into controls, governance structures, operating procedures and implementation plans that can withstand scrutiny from regulators, banking partners, auditors, investors and enterprise customers.
SELECTED EXPERIENCE AND IMPACT
• Led governance and compliance workstreams supporting successful regulatory licensing for payments and financial-services businesses.
• Built and scaled risk and compliance functions from the ground up for multiple FinTech and technology startups.
• Reduced financial-crime risk exposure and compliance errors by up to 50% through stronger risk assessments, onboarding controls, monitoring and investigation workflows.
• Designed AML/CFT, KYC/KYB, sanctions, enhanced due diligence and transaction-monitoring frameworks for FinTech, payments and cryptocurrency products.
• Embedded compliance requirements into onboarding, payments, digital-asset and account-management processes with product, engineering, operations, legal and executive teams.
• Prepared businesses for regulatory reviews, bank and payment-partner due diligence, independent audits and enterprise assessments.
• Conducted cryptocurrency investigations and developed wallet-screening and blockchain transaction-monitoring processes using leading analytics tools.
HOW I CAN HELP
AML and financial-crime compliance:
• AML/CFT programme design, review and remediation
• KYC, KYB and customer due diligence frameworks
• Customer and business risk-rating methodologies
• Enhanced due diligence and high-risk customer procedures
• Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening controls
• Transaction-monitoring frameworks and rule reviews
• Suspicious-activity escalation and investigation procedures
• Financial-crime risk assessments
• AML, KYC, sanctions and fraud policies and procedures
FinTech, payments and crypto compliance:
• Regulatory licensing and market-entry readiness
• Cross-border payments compliance
• Crypto wallet screening and blockchain investigations
• Product compliance and regulatory risk assessments
• Banking-partner and payment-provider due diligence
• Regulatory obligation mapping across jurisdictions
• Compliance requirements for new products and customer journeys
Compliance assurance and advisory:
• Compliance audits and gap assessments
• Audit-finding remediation plans
• Control design and effectiveness reviews
• Governance and compliance reporting
• Board and employee training
• Fractional Head of Compliance and MLRO support
I also support data privacy, DPIAs, third-party risk and enterprise risk where these form part of a wider financial-services or product-compliance programme.
TYPICAL CLIENT ENGAGEMENTS
Clients usually engage me to:
• Build a compliance programme before launching a regulated product
• Prepare for a licence application or regulatory assessment
• Address weaknesses identified by a regulator, auditor or bank
• Improve KYC/KYB, EDD or customer-risk scoring
• Review transaction-monitoring rules and investigation workflows
• Develop or update compliance policies and procedures
• Assess the regulatory risks of a new FinTech or crypto product
• Establish a compliance function without immediately hiring a full internal team
• Prepare documentation requested by a bank, investor, regulator or payment provider
• Expand into a new market and identify the resulting compliance obligations
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
Depending on the engagement, deliverables may include:
• Regulatory and financial-crime risk assessments
• Compliance gap-analysis reports
• AML/CFT and KYC/KYB frameworks
• Policies, procedures and control documentation
• Risk-rating methodologies
• Control matrices and responsibility maps
• Transaction-monitoring requirements
• Remediation and implementation roadmaps
• Governance and management reporting templates
• Training materials and implementation support
Every engagement is tailored to your business model, products, jurisdictions, customers, transaction flows and risk profile. I do not provide generic policy packs without first understanding how the business operates.
You can expect clear communication, practical recommendations, agreed timelines and regular progress updates. Sensitive business, customer and regulatory information is handled confidentially.
To discuss a project, send me a brief description of your business, jurisdictions, compliance challenge, deadline and required deliverables. I will recommend a clear scope, delivery approach and next steps.

YOUR HUBSPOT CRM SHOULD BE CLOSING GAPS, NOT CREATING THEM.
Leads coming in but not being followed up? A messy HubSpot CRM? Manual sales processes? Broken workflows? Poor pipeline visibility? If your HubSpot account is doing only a fraction of what it could do, I help turn it into a clean, organized, and automated CRM system that captures leads, routes them, follows up automatically, and gives your team a clear view of the sales pipeline.
I specialize in HubSpot CRM, HubSpot automation, CRM setup, workflow automation, marketing automation, CRM optimization, lead routing, pipeline management, reporting, and integrations. My approach is simple: understand how your business actually handles leads and customers, identify where the process breaks down, then build the HubSpot CRM structure and automation needed to make the process more reliable.
WHY BUSINESSES NEED HUBSPOT CRM THAT ACTUALLY WORKS
A HubSpot account can contain powerful CRM, sales, marketing, automation, reporting, and CMS capabilities, but having the tools is not the same as having a system that works.
You may have leads sitting without follow-up, sales reps manually assigning leads, duplicate contacts, confusing lifecycle stages, disconnected pipelines, inaccurate reports, poorly designed workflows, or marketing and sales teams working from different information.
That is where I come in.
I help businesses use HubSpot CRM and HubSpot automation to reduce manual CRM work, improve lead follow-up, organize customer data, automate repetitive processes, improve pipeline visibility, and create a more consistent lead-to-customer journey.
HOW I CAN HELP
HubSpot CRM Setup & Optimization
• HubSpot CRM setup and configuration
• CRM architecture and CRM optimization
• Contact and deal management
• Custom properties and CRM data structure
• Lifecycle stages and sales pipeline setup
• CRM cleanup, data hygiene, and duplicate cleanup
• CRM migration, data mapping, and organization
HubSpot Workflow & Marketing Automation
• HubSpot workflows and workflow automation
• Lead routing and automated lead assignment
• Automated lead follow-up
• Lead nurturing and nurture sequences
• Lead scoring and segmentation
• Lifecycle stage automation
• Email automation and email sequences
• Re-engagement and follow-up automation
• Task creation, notifications, and internal automation
Sales & Pipeline Automation
• Sales pipeline setup and optimization
• Deal pipeline management
• Lead qualification workflows
• Marketing-to-sales handoff
• Sales follow-up automation
• Pipeline reporting and sales reporting
• KPI dashboards and funnel reporting
• CRM processes designed around your sales cycle
HubSpot Reporting & Optimization
• HubSpot reporting and dashboard setup
• Sales and marketing reporting
• Pipeline visibility
• Funnel performance tracking
• Workflow optimization
• Automation troubleshooting
• CRM audits and performance improvements
HubSpot Integrations
• Third-party integrations
• CRM data synchronization
• API and webhook-based integrations where required
• Connecting HubSpot with the tools your team already uses
• Data mapping, trigger testing, and integration troubleshooting
WHAT I DO
I don't simply configure HubSpot features. I build the CRM system behind your sales and marketing process.
I start by understanding how leads enter your business, how they are qualified, who owns them, how deals move through the sales pipeline, where follow-up happens, what information your team needs, and where manual work or CRM problems are slowing everything down.
From there, I plan the HubSpot CRM architecture, configure the CRM, build workflows, automate lead routing and follow-up, organize lifecycle stages, connect integrations, create reporting dashboards, test the system, make revisions, and provide documentation and handover.
The result is a HubSpot CRM that is easier to manage, easier for your team to use, and better aligned with the way your business operates.
INDUSTRIES I SERVE
I work best with businesses where CRM organization, lead management, automation, and pipeline visibility directly affect growth.
B2B SaaS & Technology — CRM implementation, lifecycle automation, lead scoring, onboarding automation, reporting, integrations, and RevOps support.
Professional Services & Consulting — CRM setup, pipeline management, lead routing, automated follow-up, email automation, reporting, and sales process optimization.
Marketing Agencies — HubSpot CRM management, marketing automation, workflows, client lead routing, reporting, integrations, and ongoing HubSpot administration.
I can also support suitable businesses in recruiting, real estate, education, healthcare, financial services, e-commerce, and other service-based industries where HubSpot CRM automation can improve lead management and customer processes.
