About
When a fraud ring nearly cost Goldman Sachs clients $1.5M, my team caught it before it landed. That's what 9 years in financial crime operations looks like. From the Apple Card portfolio at Goldman Sachs to leading a 25-person AML/KYC team at PwC with zero regulatory audit findings — my career has been built on one thing: stopping financial crime before it causes damage. Right now I lead AML and fraud operations at PwC's Acceleration Centre in Hyderabad. Complex investigations, SAR escalations, quality control across high-volume pipelines — and a team that has never once given an auditor a reason to flag us. Before PwC, I worked the front lines at Goldman Sachs, Flutter Entertainment, Uber, and Amazon. Every role sharpened the same instincts: spot the pattern, close the gap, protect the business. What I deliver: — 22% drop in case error rates through structured QC — 18% reduction in false positives via NICE Actimize calibration — 30% improvement in team output quality through targeted training — Operational playbooks built from scratch at Uber's Hyderabad CoE — 98.5% SLA compliance across a 25-person team. Zero audit findings. My toolkit: AML · KYC · CDD/EDD · OFAC · PEP Screening · SAR/STR Filing · FinCEN · Reg E · Reg Z · Transaction Monitoring · NICE Actimize · LexisNexis · World-Check · SQL. CAMS in progress, 2026. One question drives everything I do: how do you scale compliance without breaking quality, reduce fraud without hurting the customer, and build a team that holds up under regulatory scrutiny — every single time? Next, I'm looking for a Team Lead or Manager role in financial crime, fraud operations, or payments risk at a product company where compliance and technology actually talk to each other.
