Welcome! I'm Lorna Wanjiku Maina — a Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) based in Dubai, with a background in affiliate marketing and partnership management within the financial services sector.
Over the years, I worked closely with global partners and compliance teams, navigating regulated environments while driving business growth. My interest in financial crime prevention and regulatory compliance led me to pursue my CAMS certification and join ACAMS, deepening my expertise in AML, KYC, sanctions, and risk management.
I'm now focused on transitioning into compliance roles where I can leverage my practical experience and compliance knowledge to help organizations uphold strong ethical standards and manage risks effectively.
My Professional Journey
My career began in affiliate marketing and partnership management, working with clients across forex, crypto, and e-commerce sectors. This path gave me the opportunity to travel internationally, meet partners, and gain insights into different markets and cultures.
Working in financial services means operating within regulated frameworks, which gave me firsthand experience collaborating with compliance and back-office teams. These experiences sparked my interest in compliance and financial crime prevention.
To formalize my knowledge, I joined ACAMS and earned my Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) certification. This blend of practical experience and formal training empowers me to contribute effectively to compliance teams.
I'm passionate about continuous learning and excited to take on roles that bridge my business development background with regulatory and risk management expertise.
