Back to original languageAbout Giles
A graduate of Sciences Po Paris, I have ten years of experience in compliance and risk management for investment banking, global markets, and asset management activities.
I have worked within financial institutions on digital transformation projects, change management, and performance improvement, developing both technical knowledge of market products and expertise on issues related to market integrity, such as market abuse and fraud, conflict of interest management, and investor protection, as well as financial security issues like anti-money laundering and customer due diligence. I have also advised operational teams on the following regulations: MiFID, EMIR, MAR, AIFMD, AML directives, GDPR, Sapin II....
Furthermore, these technical skills have been validated by obtaining two globally recognized certifications in our industry: Global Financial Compliance from CISI (Chartered Institute for securities and investments) for financial markets and CAMS (Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist) for financial security.
