Fortunatus ensures our clients' financial crime risk is properly handled according to the customer's risk aspiration and in compliance with relevant Financial Crime regulatory requirements.
My professional journey in the financial sector in Denmark (began 19 years ago) has accustomed me with deep understanding of Risk Management (Corporate Credit), Financial Crime Prevention, Financial legislation, Finance, and success in forging stakeholder relations.
I am motivated to drive development and achieve results through new initiatives, and it makes sense for me to see my work make a significant impact in the Financial Crime area.
In-depth experience with credit risk and a solid understanding of the credit processesI have 9+ years of experience with credit risk management and credit processes from Nordea and Danske Bank covering LC&I customers across the bank’s geographical markets. My time in Credit was challenging as well as educational mainly because I joined Credit at the start of the financial crisis and most of the counterparties had difficulties not only meeting their financial targets, but also credit obligations. Consequently, the position acquainted me with a deeper understanding of not only credit risk, but also complex credit procedures and processes such as corporate financing, restructuring and turnarounds.
Strong experience with Financial Crime Prevention and regulatory requirementsAs Financial Crime Consultant, I can contribute with solid understanding of Financial Crime including AML/CTF, KYC, Transaction Monitoring, Sanctions, PEPs, FATCA/CRS, which has been gained through daily work and an Advanced Certificate in AML from International Compliance Association (ICA). As Senior Client Manager, I covered a portfolio of 60+ Global Subsidiaries and most of them had presence in sanctioned and/or high-risk countries.
I understand the regulatory framework within banking, which has been gained through daily work as Senior Risk Officer and Deputy Financial Inspector at the Danish FSA, Operational Risk Division.
High academic background in Accounting, Finance and EconomicsHolding a Bachelor of Commerce degree from UDSM, a master’s degree in economics from the University of Copenhagen, and a Graduate Diploma in Business Administration from Copenhagen Business School has equipped me with a solid foundation to make informed decisions, offer valuable insights, and contribute meaningfully to customer projects/assignments.
