Maria Cacciatore
Learning and Development Manager
"Over the past three years working at the FIAU as the lead of the Learning and Development team, I’ve had the privilege of growing both professionally and personally within a dynamic and supportive environment."
Through the authority’s sponsorship scheme, I earned professional qualifications in Anti Money Laundering, which has deepened my expertise and elevated my contribution to the Unit. I was also given the opportunity to travel and broaden my knowledge, gaining valuable insights and perspectives that I’ve been able to bring back to my team. I take pride in my role, as it is a key function in empowering our employees to grow and succeed. The FIAU’s culture prioritises continuous growth which has not only shaped my own journey but has allowed me to empower colleagues across the organisation, helping them evolve not only in their careers but also as individuals. At the FIAU, learning truly is a shared journey, and I’m proud to contribute to an environment where every employee is encouraged to reach their full potential.
Simone Parnis
Senior Officer - Legal Affairs
"Working at the FIAU has been both enriching and rewarding. The Unit fosters a strong spirit of teamwork, where each team member is valued for their individual strengths. There is a shared commitment to supporting one another, which creates a positive and productive work environment."
One aspect I truly value is the Unit's dedication to continuous growth — both in technical knowledge and essential soft skills. This supportive environment has given me the confidence and skills to take on new challenges. As part of the Legal Affairs Section, I've had the opportunity to work on diverse projects, contribute to key national initiatives, and participate in international engagements. The dynamic nature of the work keeps each day engaging and offers constant opportunities for learning and development. It’s truly inspiring to be part of an organisation that empowers its people, value progress, and encourages innovation. It’s a place where ambition and collaboration thrive.
Ben Murphy
Senior Associate - Quality Control
"I'm extremely proud to be part of the FIAU, an organisation that places genuine importance on professional growth and collaboration."
I joined with the aim of furthering my experience in AML/CFT, and from the start, I've been exposed to meaningful work in a supportive environment where learning and development are truly prioritised. My role is dynamic and engaging. I can interact with other competent authorities regularly, which brings both variety and challenge to my daily work. This exposure not only broadens my perspective but also strengthens the impact of what we do. One of the most rewarding aspects of working here is the team around me. I’m fortunate to have colleagues who are approachable, driven, and committed to maintaining high standards across the sector. Their support has made me feel valued and motivated to continue growing in my role.
