After beginning my banking career working in branches for Abbey National/Santander, I joined Barclays in 2006 in the front office of the Corporate Bank. I moved into Sanctions in 2008 and enjoyed it so much, I’m still here. I started in the Corporate Sanctions Team working on Customer Alerts and Reviews, answering queries from the Business. In 2011, I moved into the Group Sanctions Team, providing sanctions advice to Business aligned sanctions teams across the globe, managing breaches, regulatory disclosures and exceptions to Policy. After a filling a few different roles in that team, in January I moved into a new role combining management of that central team (Sanctions Escalations) and the Alerts Advisory team who review and decision payment and customer alerts.
