Raül works at CAIXABANK, one of Europe’s leading financial institutions, leading strategic initiatives across Financial Crime Prevention, Compliance, Security, Fraud Prevention, Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation.
During the first five years of my career at CAIXABANK, he was responsible for major Compliance and Financial Crime projects, focusing on Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Sanctions Compliance, international trade compliance, financial crime controls, and regulatory transformation. His work included the implementation and enhancement of sanctions screening platforms, compliance monitoring capabilities, and prevention frameworks designed to strengthen the bank’s ability to identify, assess, and mitigate increasingly sophisticated financial crime risks.
Over the last five years, he has led Security projects and programs focused on the prevention, detection and investigation of fraud, scams, cyber-enabled crime, identity-related crime, and other emerging threats affecting both customers and financial institutions.
Throughout his career, he has actively participated in international initiatives involving major stakeholders across the anti-financial crime ecosystem, collaborating on projects and working groups connected with the European Payments Council (EPC), the Bank of Europe, Europol, Interpol, the Spanish National Police, and other international organizations and public-private partnerships. These initiatives have focused on financial crime prevention, fraud detection, sanctions compliance, identity verification, intelligence sharing, cross-border investigations, and the use of emerging technologies to support law enforcement and financial institutions.
Prior to joining CAIXABANK, he spent three years with the Catalan Police (Mossos d’Esquadra), where he served as Technical Lead for criminal intelligence databases and advanced crime analytics.
