Brandon Holdsworth

Expertise

Brandon graduated from university in 2020. He, since then, began to develop a broad range of skills initially from researching, studying and shadowing the MWFC Project Lead (12 months arrangement). Brandon, during his work with the MWFC, was able to gain significant industry insight of UK FCA registered crypto firms and various FCA regulated banks.

Leveraging his ongoing review of industry guidelines such as the JMLSG and FCA Good and Poor Practice, and his studies for the ICA Diploma in AML, Brandon actively supports the MWFC and clients, acting in a capacity as a Junior SME Subject Matter Expert at various clients, including FinTechs.

Brandon is particularly interested in risk management, focussing on sanctions compliance, AML automation and optimisation, CDD (customer due diligence) and KYC (know your customer) and using a risk based approach towards data management.

His future objective is to become a respected front runner for technological adoption in the risk and compliance industry, creating a following and ever expanding his network to like minded individuals, projects and firms.
