I work with my team to identify, trace, and ultimately recover digital assets. My clients include people who have lost funds through frauds and scams, and I collaborate with insolvency practitioners to identify and secure funds for creditors. I also provide assistance in the valuation of digital assets and crypto-native firms in support of litigation and arbitration.
Before joining the firm, I spent 17 years working across the UK public sector, focusing on economic and organised crime, as well as national security. Most recently, I was HMRC’s technology-enabled money laundering threat lead, designing and delivering its response to the exploitation of technology in illicit finance and money laundering. My team worked on complex, international investigations which resulted in multimillion-pound seizures, including one of the UK’s first crypto wallet freezing orders.
As part of this role, I was also the Fraud Investigation Service’s lead for the Joint Chiefs of Global Tax Enforcement cyber team, and sat on the Government’s Illicit Finance Pursue Board, and the Anti-Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Programme Board.
I’m passionate about making the cryptoasset ecosystem a hard operating environment for bad actors, and working with those who have lost funds, through frauds, scams, or bankruptcies, to recover their assets. I’m also committed to demystifying the fintech space and driving public-private partnerships to be truly collaborative and fulfil their potential for all involved.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me out with my dog on woodland walks, inevitably with my toddler perched on my shoulders, and often calling at a country pub to recharge.
