Head of Support and Controls for the Milan and Emilia Romagna Macro Area
UBI BANCA

“I am the Support and Control Manager for the Milan and Emilia Romagna Macro Area.
I handle first-level controls within the branch network's sales chain, controls on branch operations in the areas of Anti-Money Laundering, operational performance, audits, compliance with conduct, and financial controls on MiFID profiling. I also report directly to the Macro Area Manager.
It was the company that suggested I attend the Specialization Course, and I learned about the Italian Anti-Money Laundering School when I enrolled.
I rate the administration's work as normal; it was carried out correctly! For example, during a course, we students requested a different slide format than the one initially provided, and we were immediately accommodated!
The quality of the teachers was excellent, and they were very well-prepared. The choice to address practical cases, which are the ones that remain most memorable, was a winning one.
The course gave me the opportunity to update myself on various topics; the 5th Directive, for example, hadn't yet been addressed by the bank's internal structure. It was a preview! The skills I learned prove useful in my day-to-day work. I'm not an operational person; my job mainly involves controls. I arrive ex post, once things have already happened; but it's really about prevention! The Master's degree gave me the opportunity to gain a few more tools in my day-to-day operations.
Yes, I would recommend the course and have already recommended it to a colleague of mine.”
