  • Experience with Machine Learning and Heuristic models for Transaction Monitoring, Sanctions Screening, and Customer Risk Scoring.
  • Experience conducting AML model validations aligned with SR 11-7 and OCC 2011-12.
  • Experience responding to examinations and consent orders while working with regulators and independent monitors.
