Please feel free to introduce yourselves!
I have been in the AML space for 10 years (where does the time go? ) in banks ranging from small to humongous. I *love* the work though it can be quite challenging being on the risk side in financial institutions, of course.
Who has joined?

Love this, Liz!
I'm Angela Lucas. I spent several years as a Federal bank examiner with the OCC. I left the OCC in 2008 to enter the consulting world focusing on consumer compliance and AML. In 2015, I partnered with a long-time friend and colleague to launch Sterling Compliance, a full service consumer protection and AML consulting firm. While running Sterling, I built out its cannabis banking practice, which inadvertently made us an acquisition target. ;) Sterling was acquired in early 2019 with the closing in 2020. In late 2019, I transitioned daily operations of Sterling to my business partner and ran cannabis banking for the parent company. I was presented an opportunity I could not pass up at MVB and joined in June 2021.
