  Dow Jones is a global provider of news and business information, producing leading publications such as the Wall Street Journal and Barron’s. Through its Risk & Compliance solutions, it also delivers reliable information on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing, sanctions, anti-bribery, and corruption.With the company’s Barcelona office and Risk & Compliance/Data Strategy departments, my role as a Research Editor, Risk & Compliance consisted in investigating, collecting and curating information for the Dow Jones Risk & Compliance database and tool on Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), with the goal of limiting our subscribers’ exposure to reputational risk and money laundering. I managed a portfolio of over 20 countries and jurisdictions that included France, Monaco, the United States, and different African nations, among others. This task was carried out through the use of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and journals from all across the globe, as DJ's internal database - Factiva - encompasses over 30 thousand press articles. My knowledge of French, Turkish, Spanish and Portuguese further led me to produce and curate bespoke Due Diligence reports on target firms and individuals, some of them under international sanctions, detailing their ownership structure and operations, but also possible adverse media content.
