Description

Senior compliance and risk consultant specialising in helping financial services organisations strengthen governance, deliver regulatory change, and maintain operational resilience.

My work centres on providing stability, clarity, and assurance at board level — particularly during periods of transformation, regulatory scrutiny, or organisational change.

I bring deep experience across Consumer Duty, SMCR, conduct risk, operational resilience, and multi jurisdictional regulatory mapping. I have led complex remediation programmes, designed end to end control frameworks, and acted as a trusted adviser to executive teams seeking pragmatic, commercially aware compliance leadership.

My approach is grounded in clarity, credibility, and calm execution. I work closely with boards, CEOs, and senior leadership to translate regulatory expectations into practical, sustainable solutions that enhance customer outcomes and protect organisational integrity.

• Governance, risk & control frameworks

• SMCR, conduct risk & assurance

• Consumer Duty implementation & oversight
