KBC Bank & Verzekering
Chief Compliance Officer
Giana Quandt-Martiena is Chief Compliance Officer at KBC Bank & Verzekering, Rotterdam Branch, with a professional background spanning banking compliance, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT), fraud prevention, legal advisory, and corporate governance.
Combining legal, business, and compliance expertise, Giana works across regulatory and corporate matters, including compliance programmes, financial crime prevention, and risk-related issues. Her multidisciplinary background enables her to approach compliance not only from a regulatory perspective but also in the context of broader business requirements and organizational processes.
Her professional experience also includes project management, research and reporting, public relations, training, and professional coaching. This combination of responsibilities has contributed to a broad understanding of how regulatory requirements, governance frameworks, communication, and organizational practices interact within professional environments.
Alongside her executive responsibilities, Giana is an experienced lecturer and panelist who regularly contributes to professional discussions and knowledge-sharing. Her work focuses on connecting regulatory and compliance requirements with practical business considerations, with particular attention to transparency, integrity, effective collaboration, and financial crime prevention.
Fraud schemes often evolve faster than internal controls. A mature anti-fraud function does more than investigate losses. It identifies weaknesses early, informs product design, connects signals across accounts and measures whether controls are reducing risk without creating unnecessary friction.
