Head of Risk & Compliance, SelfPay

Anca is an experienced risk and compliance professional with over 15 years of activity in the regulated financial sector. Certified as an Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (ACAMS) and ESG Specialist (IASE), she brings a unique perspective shaped by roles across banking, non-banking financial institutions, and FinTech.

Throughout her career, Anca has navigated both multinational and national companies, large players as well as niche organizations. Each transition has brought new challenges, challenges that have fueled her growth and expertise. In her current role, she advises management teams on how to translate legal and regulatory requirements into practical, business-friendly solutions and how to proactively mitigate emerging risks.

“We are not the same, and therefore our needs differ. In a constantly changing world, we must keep pace with transformation and make the best out of every opportunity,” she says.

Anca’s approach is pragmatic, people-oriented and rooted in the belief that effective risk management and compliance are not just regulatory boxes to tick, but strategic enablers for sustainable business growth.
