Postgraduated in Financial Markets & Banking, I have a diversified banking experience in leading financial institutions on both international and domestic fronts. In 1987 I served as financial advisor in private banking at Banque Internationale pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest in Togo and Benin before moving to Paris dealing room as corporate dealer. In 1990 I joined ABN Amro’s French subsidiary treasury as a corporate manager. In 1992 I have been assigned in Saudi Arabia where I spent 5 years at Saudi Hollandi Bank responsible for international corporate banking. From 1997 to 2001 I joined and headed the International Dept of ABN Amro’s sub in Paris in charge of Asia and the US. As senior audit manager and Group Audit co-head over the past 7 years I has developed a sound knowledge of risk management and regulatory issues. Late 2008, I set up my own consultancy firm to assist banks and insurance companies in risk management issues including internal controls, internal audit (quality assurance, best practice and IIA standards) and anti-money laundering.
I am certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist from the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist / ACAMS (2007) ( www.acams.org ).
I am also a certified Internal Audit Quality Assurance Reviewer from the Institute of Internal Auditors / IIA (2007) ( www.theiia.org ).
To strengthen my knowledge in insurance products I attended the Ecole Polytechnique d'Assurances EPA Level I professional training and I graduated in 2008 ( www.esassurances.com ).
In May 2009 I completed a 3-mth Project Management (MOA) professional training including Bazel 2 & IAS/IFRS issues.
