Senior Trade Finance Officer

With 18 years of diversified experience across Banking Operations, Trade Finance, AML Compliance, and Oracle Financials, combined with 14+ years of Middle East exposure, I bring a strong operational, regulatory, and technology-driven background that aligns exceptionally well with the demands of today’s exchange and remittance sector.
During my tenure in Burgan Bank, Kuwait, I worked extensively in Trade Finance Operations, handling Import/Export LCs, Guarantees, and Collections under UCP 600, URC 522, and URDG 758. I ensured efficient processing, AML screening, and error-free documentation checks while coordinating with multiple departments, international banks, and corporate clients. This role strengthened my skills in risk mitigation, regulatory adherence, service quality, and process optimization.
My extensive experience also includes AML-trained certification, compliance checks, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and KYC documentation support—skills that are vital in the remittance and exchange industry. I am deeply familiar with Central Bank of Kuwait regulatory expectations, operational controls, audit readiness, and reporting mechanisms required in high-volume financial environments.
Prior to my banking career, I served as an Oracle Financials Admin and IT Systems Administrator at Orbit Showtime Network. This unique combination of IT and finance enables me to lead technology-enabled improvements, streamline core operations, and support digital transformation within exchange companies.
Across my career, I have consistently demonstrated strong team leadership, workflow management, customer-centric operations, vendor coordination, and an ability to maintain accuracy and compliance under high pressure. I am also recognized for my communication skills, training ability, and proven track record of supporting smooth day-to-day branch/operations functioning.
With a strong foundation in Operations Management, AML & Compliance, Trade Finance, and Financial Technology, I am confident in my ability to contribute to your company’s operational excellence, regulatory compliance, and growth.
