Mariana Lagana De Santana

Miami,FL

Summary

With over 7 years of experience in BSA/AML, I was part of teams responsible to uphold the highest standards in AML compliance, with a dedicated focus on KYC, CDD, and EDD protocols. I have worked directly with Ultra-High segment clients in Private Banking, being its focal point. My last role as an Offshore Senior Analyst leveraged my graduate education in Finance from Insper and an in-depth understanding of the American and Brazilian financial regulations, ensuring meticulous risk assessments and investigative reviews.

Specializing in adverse media search and investigation, I have honed the ability to proactively identify risks and new AML concerns. The commitment to excellence in client onboarding and policy adherence was reflected in successful EDD escalations to the board and thorough validation of complex offshore accounts, including individuals, legal entities and investment funds. I had the opportunity to work with excellent professionals and learn from great managers.
