I’m an experienced compliance professional within our financial services advisory team, specialising in global regulations across the wholesale banking and capital markets sector. My career includes senior roles such as Head of Equities/Cash Equities Compliance at multinational banks, and Head of Compliance and Money Laundering Reporting Officer at a leading algorithmic proprietary trading firm.
My expertise includes front-office compliance and first line of defence controls, helping clients assess regulatory expectations for a range of instruments and geographies. Recent engagements include advising on trading controls, remediation of booking and reporting frameworks.
Drawing on this experience, I help firms navigate the complex regulatory environment to embed compliance in a way that’s pragmatic to support sustainable growth.
