I focus on financial crime and investigations – supporting clients on issues covering anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing, sanctions, fraud, and bribery and corruption.
My recent experience includes:
- delivery of multiple financial crime s166 skilled person reviews for the Financial Conduct Authority and equivalent reviews for offshore regulators
- AML, Know Your Customer and ‘appropriateness’ remediations
- financial crime framework reviews, health checks, and design and operational effectiveness testing
- ‘failure to prevent fraud’ risk assessment
- delivering tailored financial crime and fraud training
- sanctions projects – from multi-year global investigations to targeted reviews for clients in a variety of sectors
- supporting clients through all stages of regulatory visits and related activities
- AML framework design and implementation
- secondments in financial crime roles at banking and asset management clients.
I've worked with organisations of various sizes and complexity across financial services and beyond, including: law firms, enforcement agencies, regulators and corporates. I'm a member of the Financial Crime Working Group of the Payments Association, a UK trade body for the payments and e-money sector.
Outside of work, I spend most of my time running around after two energetic small people and trying to make it to the gym.
