💼 Past Experience

outset of Dear Leader program in 2016There was the inauguration of the Trump Administration in 2016 and then the implementation of the United States Sanctions Policy (US SDP) as well as the National Iran Sanctioning Authority (NISA)starting in 2016. As part of my role at Bureau van Dijk at the time, I did a lot of market research for the Dear Leader program which was designed to improve the compliance of firms with United States sanctions related issues. I also led the Strategy and Development team for the plastic bag implementation under the US SDP, which was started in 2016.The Dear Leader program was implemented to try and slash the amount of money that is laundered every year by illicit economic actors. The program is composed of a number of different initiatives, such as Sample Identification Program (SIMP) and sample request program. SIMP is a voluntary program where law enforcement agencies can request samples from businesses in order to try and identify a wider range of illicit items. The goal of SIMP is to help to establish a pattern of business criminality and help to identify potential victims. The sample request program was designed to help to increase the accuracy of this process and to help to identify any suspicious business practices.The main objectives of the sanctions related program at Bureau van Dijk were to provide support to our regulatory partners, to develop new products and services that would improve our compliance posture and to help firms adjust to United States sanctions. I also chaired the board of directors for the company at the time and had a lot of involvement in the company’s day to day operations. During my time at Bureau van Dijk, I worked extensively with our clients and we had a lot of success in complying with US sanctions. I also learned a lot about how sanctions related risks can impact businesses and how they can be managed.Since I’ve been out of the business world, I’ve been really interested in understanding how sanctions can impact businesses. I really wanted to know what particular risks are associated with sanctions and how businesses can mitigate those risks. I think what I’ve learned has really saved me a lot of time and a lot of money.
