Anrike Visser is the founder of Global Ground Media and former financial crime investigator at the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets.

"I am a diligent and thorough policy advisor and analyst with 12 years experience in EU regulation, compliance and financial services across Europe, Asia and Africa. From 2017 until 2021 I was based in Southeast Asia and 2011 in MENA.

✅ Compliance and Policy Advice:
I provide policy advisory services to European governments, EU institutions, and International Financial Institutions on regulatory frameworks on PEPs, high-risk jurisdictions, sanction enforcement, etc. In addition, I offer compliance advise to financial service providers, FinTech and private companies to counter the reputational risk of being exposed to Money Laundering, sanctions and human rights abuses in their services or supply chains.

My grounding in this industry comes from my time spent at the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets. I am well-versed in the UN, US, UK and EU sanction regimes, corporate sustainability and due diligence regulations including the EU’s 6th AML Directive, the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and sector-specific regulations on mining.

🕵🏽‍♀️ Investigations & Analyses:
For over a decade I have investigated FinCrime in Europe, Southeast Asia and more recently Africa. I started investigating financial misconduct at banks, insurers and investment companies at a European regulator. There I was trained by the Fiscal Information and Investigation Service (FIOD) as a Special Investigative Officer ("buitengewoon opsporingsambtenaar").

Next, I lived in Southeast Asia for four years investigating the proceeds of crime before they are laundered through the international financial system. As an anthropologist, I always want to include local perspectives and when possible conduct research on the ground. FinCrime is not a victimless crime and I have witnessed the consequences first-hand during revolutions, civil war and coups.

🤝 For more than a decade I have built a robust investigative and policy network to fight some of the most pertinent and egregious abuses and their illicit financial flows. My role has taken me all across the globe. I innately leave no stone unturned to create original analysis of the highest levels of accuracy."
