About

M. Kemal Sahin

M. Kemal Sahin

I advise boards and senior executives on compliance, financial crime, governance and cross-border regulatory risk.

The career behind that advice runs from internal audit in Istanbul to control and programme work at Chase and J.P. Morgan in London, and then to compliance leadership at Deutsche Bank across several countries. I have sat with audit, risk and compliance committees, and I have held the UK senior manager functions of executive director, compliance officer, money laundering reporting officer and group entity senior manager. Those approvals belonged to the firms I served. They do not authorise Warwick Global Partners.

I took an MBA at Warwick Business School, and a BSc in Economics at Middle East Technical University. The name of the firm refers to that education, and to work that crosses borders. It is not an affiliation with the university.

I have mentored on the Warwick Business School MBA since 2017, and I mentor with the MLRO Institute. I am a member of Chapter Zero, and I took part in the Financial Times non-executive programme in 2018.
