Fiki Bailey

I’m part of the Global Financial Crime and Compliance (GFCC) team, a second line of defence function based in London.  

My role involves supporting the business with financial crime-related queries, maintaining and developing our financial crime policies and procedures, and staying on top of developments across the landscape. A key part of my job is making sure Aviva Investors is protected against being used to facilitate financial crime. 

I also work closely with our local Money Laundering Reporting Officers, ensuring they’re well supported, and I regularly represent GFCC in meetings with internal and external stakeholders. 

I joined Aviva Investors in 2017, bringing with me experience in financial crime prevention dating back to 2007. Since joining the GFCC team, I’ve completed several professional certifications with ACAMS, including Certified Money Laundering Specialist (2018), Sanctions Foundation (2019), and Global Certified Sanctions Specialist (2020). 

Interestingly, I didn’t start my career in finance – I actually trained and qualified as a midwife! While it may seem unrelated, both roles demand a keen eye for risk, strong decision-making, and a real sense of responsibility – skills I rely on every day in my current role.
