Profile
I am a Compliance Officer and Certified Anti Money Laundering Professional. I believe in the (r)evolution of the compliance function from police-officer into a profession that is involved in the mental process how to go forward with ethical challenges, business moral, and integrity questions and to embed these moral values into the company culture. I am aware that there is still a long way to go and that compliance is not the answer to all wrongdoings in the world. But it can help. I strongly believe in Corporate Social Responsibility & Sustainability and the role compliance can play to enhance this belief.

Former work experience

I became experienced with working in many different cultures (Commercial, NGO’s, Financial Services Industry). Consequently I have developed a high degree of organisation-sensitivity.

An advertising agency is a challenging environment where creative ideas need to be transformed into a useful advertising campaign for the customer. At Intermarco Farner and Noordervliet & Winninghoff I was Account Assistant on A brand clients such as Nestlé, Philips, Philip Morris, Procter & Gamble, Tefal. At CopyConsultants (intermediair between copywriters and clients/Secretariat for Art Directors Club Nederland) I was the office manager.

Purpose was to improve their general knowledge and gain better understanding of ABN AMRO, Wholesale and Finance.
