Description

I help organisations strengthen integrity, comply with regulations, and build resilient governance ecosystems across multiple jurisdictions. With 19+ years of experience in Compliance, Financial Crime Investigations, AML/CFT, Cyber-Risk, and IT Auditing, I bring a rare mix of technical depth, investigative capability, and strategic leadership.

My background includes Big-4 consulting, corporate compliance in the energy sector, and international advisory roles supporting banks, fintechs, and multinational companies. I’ve led complex investigations, built and enhanced compliance programmes, driven digital-risk initiatives, and advised executive teams on regulatory expectations, internal controls, and ethical business conduct.

I also bring engineering management experience from the tech sector (Candy Crush Saga), that gives me the ability to bridge governance, risk, technology delivery, and AI-driven change, translating regulatory and technical issues into clear and actionable strategies.

I support organisations with:

• Compliance frameworks, codes of conduct, risk assessments, internal controls

• Fraud, corruption & misconduct investigations

• AML/CFT, sanctions, KYC/EDD and financial crime investigations

• Cyber-risk governance, ISO/IEC 27001, NIS2, digital trust & AI-risk oversight

• IT audits including AI implementation and regulatory compliance

• Executive advisory, training & cross-cultural compliance coaching

What differentiates me is my ability to make complex regulatory and technical topics understandable, enabling leaders to make informed decisions and strengthen organisational resilience. Comfortable working across cultures and jurisdictions, I adapt quickly to diverse regulatory environments.

If you’re looking to enhance compliance, investigate a high-risk issue, assess digital risk, or elevate your governance maturity, I’m always open to meaningful conversations and collaboration.
