ABOUT
Ola M. Tucker, JD, CAMS
I am an experienced compliance professional with subject-matter expertise in global anti-financial crimes (AFC) compliance, including anti-money laundering (AML), anti-corruption, and international sanctions laws and regulations. I have worked in the financial services industry for approximately 15 years, and have helped develop and implement corporate compliance programs at international and domestic companies, including Fortune 50 corporations. I also served as the AML/BSA Compliance Officer at a Delaware financial services firm focused on high net-worth clients.
Since 2018, I have been teaching classes on compliance and financial crimes at Widener University Delaware Law School. I have spoken at several industry conferences and conducted a number of webinars. Additionally, I am a contributor to various compliance publications.
I founded Compliance Notes in 2019. I provide freelance writing, compliance training, and consulting to individuals and businesses in the legal and financial services sectors.
