With first-hand experience as a CEO, AML Officer, and advisor to financial institutions, I understand the compliance challenges you face. My business-driven, pragmatic approach ensures you receive solutions that truly fit your needs — from building frameworks to managing regulatory relationships — so you can focus on growing your business.
My Story
Over the past decade, I’ve built a career at the intersection of compliance, digital assets, and financial innovation. I bring first-hand experience from leading an SRO-affiliated financial institution — a perspective that allows me to offer compliance solutions that are pragmatic, business-aligned, and focused on growth.
At digital value AG, a Swiss SRO-affiliated crypto brokerage, I helped build the company from the ground up, taking on roles as COO and later CEO. Over four years, I managed compliance and operational matters, facilitated OTC transactions exceeding $100M from both a client-facing perspective and an operational and AML perspective, and acted as the company’s AML Officer, overseeing regulatory and financial audits. This hands-on experience gave me a deep understanding of the compliance challenges that financial institutions face when scaling their businesses. The company’s acquisition by a multinational financial institution marked a key milestone, demonstrating the importance of balancing compliance with commercial success.
I also contributed to one of Switzerland’s first FINMA-licensed crypto asset manager applications at Crypto Finance, setting up operational and risk frameworks and structuring fund setups abroad. Later, as an Investment Associate, I evaluated ICOs, STOs, and traditional VC opportunities while co-managing a $10M fund. Working across jurisdictions, including Switzerland and Israel, broadened my understanding of the digital asset space and the practical challenges businesses face in this evolving market. Lastly, at the Swiss Financial Innovation Desk (FIND), part of the Swiss government, I proposed and implemented measures to promote financial innovation in Switzerland. This experience provided valuable insights into how regulations can be adapted to foster growth.
Today, I leverage this combined experience to help financial institutions navigate AML compliance in a way that supports their growth. Whether advising on risk assessments, building compliance frameworks, or acting as an outsourced AML Officer, my approach is always business-driven and pragmatic — ensuring clients remain compliant without stifling innovation.
