About Marina

I support fintechs and regulated or unregulated companies in setting up, structuring, and remediating their compliance and internal control systems, with over 10 years of experience in the payment, crypto-asset (PSCA/MiCA), crowdfunding, and financial services sectors.

→ The issues I address:

  • Non-existent or insufficiently structured compliance system
  • Launching a regulated activity without a clear operational framework
  • Rapid growth not supported by compliance
  • Regulator's audit or request requiring a rapid response
  • Need for immediate or temporary external support
🛠 My solutions:
Structuring & Governance
  • Complete setup of compliance & internal control systems
  • Risk mapping and control plans (1st and 2nd level)
  • Policies, procedures, and operating methods
  • Regulatory reports (RACI, QLB, etc.)
  • Implementation of governance (committees, reporting)
  • Outsourced RCCI missions, occasional or long-term
→ AML/CFT
  • Structuring AML/CFT systems, from regulation to operations
  • Setup or redesign of AML/CFT processes
→ Fintech, PSCA & Authorizations (EP, EMI, PSFP)
  • Support in obtaining authorizations
  • Preparation and follow-up of agent applications with the ACPR
→ Internal Control & Remediation
  • Execution of 2nd level controls
  • Remediation plans following audits or inspections
  • Follow-up of internal or external recommendations
My added value:
  • Ability to intervene quickly, even in emergency situations
  • Pragmatic and operational approach, results-oriented
  • Experience with systems built from scratch and in high-pressure contexts
  • Clear communication with executives, operational teams, and partners
Intervention modalities:
Occasional, long-term, or urgent missions – remote or hybrid – quick start-up.
