About

One expert.
One firm.
Full commitment.

Background

15 years building and transforming FinCrime technology platforms at the intersection of global insurance and Tier-1 investment banking. From foundational AML architecture at AXA Group — 50 entities, 12 countries, €8M annual portfolio — to Communication Surveillance advisory at Crédit Agricole CIB, every engagement has been hands-on, production-grade, and regulatory-driven.

Certified CAMS, DORA DCCS, NIST NCSE and TOGAF 9. Fluent in the language of Compliance, IT, and the C-suite — in French, English, Spanish and Arabic.

Why Compliance Edge Solutions

I founded CES because the most critical FinCrime transformation projects consistently fail at the same point: the gap between regulatory requirements and technical delivery. Most consultants speak one language. CES speaks both.

The firm operates on a select mandate basis — only engagements where deep expertise makes a measurable difference. No generic frameworks. No junior teams. Direct senior delivery, every time.

Approach

Precision over volume
Select mandates. Full attention. No dilution across parallel projects.
Technology meets compliance
Architecture decisions informed by regulatory reality — not the other way around.
Production-grade delivery
Every recommendation is deployable. Every roadmap is actionable.
Senior. Always.
The expert you brief is the expert who delivers. No handoff to junior consultants.
