About Nicola

Accomplished Compliance Director with 10+ years’ experience in regulatory compliance, AML/CFT, GDPR, DORA and governance across Luxembourg and major European jurisdictions. I support financial institutions, AIFMs, PSFs, fintechs and digital‑asset firms with implementation, monitoring, advisory and remediation aligned to CSSF and EU expectations.

I have acted as RC and MLRO, leading AML/CFT frameworks, managing regulatory engagement, and delivering robust, risk‑based controls. I also bring strong expertise in digital assets, blockchain and cross‑chain identity verification, supporting firms navigating emerging EU and CSSF regulatory frameworks.

Qualified with a Postgraduate Diploma in Governance, Risk & Compliance (ICA), ACAMS Cryptoasset Specialist certification, and Luxembourg risk & compliance certifications, I combine technical depth with pragmatic execution.

Available for RC replacement projects, interim mandates, regulatory uplift, and targeted compliance expertise.
