• Ensuring clarity, transparency, and insight in both BAU and growth/expansion related discussions with regulators, law enforcement, and banking partners
• Collaborating, coordinating, and partnering with Product, Compliance, and Audit teams, as well as local legal entities

• Impressive analytical, critical thinking, and decision-making skills

Building a global financial super app isn't enough. Our Revoluters are a priority, and that's why in 2021 we launched our inaugural D&I Framework, designed to help us thrive and grow everyday.
