In her role at CNB Bank and Trust, she provides enterprise-wide leadership and oversight of AML, counter terrorist financing, sanctions, and fraud risk management programs. Her responsibilities include leading complex remediation efforts under a regulatory consent order and advancing modernization initiatives that strengthen governance and risk management frameworks across the organization.
Throughout her career, Paulina has held senior AML and compliance roles at both global and regional financial institutions, including BMO, GE Capital, Park National Bank, and MidAmerica Bank. Her experience spans AML program governance, enterprise risk assessment, compliance testing, and regulatory engagement across consumer and commercial banking environments.
Beyond her professional roles, Paulina is an active leader within the anti financial crime community. She has served on the ACAMS Chicago Chapter Board since 2010 and currently holds the role of Chair, where she provides strategic direction and promotes collaboration among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement. She is a frequent speaker at ACAMS conferences and industry events and regularly serves as a guest lecturer at colleges and universities, reflecting her strong commitment to education and professional development.
At FRC, Paulina will moderate the session “AML Transaction Monitoring: Building Smarter Alerts with Machine Learning.” This peer-led discussion will explore how fintechs are using machine learning to enhance transaction monitoring programs, reduce false positives, and improve detection accuracy. Attendees will gain practical insights into designing intelligent alert systems that adapt to evolving risk patterns and regulatory expectations while streamlining compliance workflows.
FRC is excited to have Paulina join the program and contribute her deep expertise, leadership perspective, and industry insight to this important conversation.
