Anna Waterhouse
I am the former Head of Legal & Compliance for the Middle East and North Africa region of Deutsche Bank. Together with my team of compliance professionals and lawyers, I advised front office businesses and senior management on regulatory compliance and legal issues in the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Algeria, Egypt, Pakistan and Nigeria.
Prior to relocating to Dubai from Deutsche Bank in London, I headed a trading-floor based compliance team, advising equities and equity derivatives trading and sales staff.
Before joining DB in 2001, I managed a team within the Investment Banking Counsel Group at Merrill Lynch in London, specialising in research compliance and conflicts management.
My career in financial services started in 1996, when I joined the convertible bond trading desk at Merrill Lynch, focussing on the structuring of new issues in emerging Eastern Europe. This role involved liaison with many legal, regulatory and tax specialists across the region and working closely with public and private sector issuers.
In 2012, I blew the whistle on suspected money laundering by Kaloti to the UAE authorities. Instead of investigating my suspicions, the Dubai Financial Services Authority started investigating me. This ultimately ended my career.
Despite all of the experience and knowledge I gained through living and working in the Middle East for close to 10 years and my former employer acknowledging that I have committed no wrongdoing, I have been unable to secure alternate employment.
I am passionate about employment law and in the future I would like to help other whistleblowers achieve justice and to bring about legislative reform.
I hold an MA in Law from Oxford University.
Martin Woods
Financial Crime Consultant & AdvisorMartin was a police detective for 18 years, he travelled the world investigating money launderers. In 2001, he became an anti-money laundering officer within banking in London. To defeat money launderers, he thinks like them, albeit he despises them and their parasite crimes.
Subsequently, Martin discovered his employer, Wachovia Bank (now Wells Fargo N.A.) was laundering money for Mexican drug cartels. He blew the whistle and gave evidence to regulators. Consequently, Wachovia paid a $160 million penalty and Martin left the bank.
Now, as a trainer and consultant he seeks to motivate and inspire people to stop money laundering.
