I am a director in the Financial Services Advisory team. I have around 35 years' experience in financial services, having worked in the regulatory advisory practice since joining the firm in 2001. My main responsibilities include advising regulated firms on compliance with UK and international rules and regulations.
I have also performed high profile interim compliance and risk management roles with two major life offices, a high street bank, a major outsourcer and the FCA. This has given me a broad and pragmatic perspective on how firms should best address regulatory challenges.
I have also led over 30 FCA and PRA s166 Skilled Person reviews, focusing on a wide range of regulatory subjects and across all sectors of the industry.
My main specialisms include governance and board effectiveness, compliance, risk management and conduct. My clients are drawn from a wide spectrum of industry participants, from the very biggest FTSE 100 banks and insurers to smaller specialist firms. I also have recent significant experience of the automotive and payments services sectors.
Outside work, I am a keen football fan, and still play 5-a-side twice weekly. I love to discover and listen to new music and attend live music events. I also volunteer for the charity, LendwithCare, which supports entrepreneurs in developing countries, and I help less privileged kids to prepare for future work through the Talent Foundry. I also collect data for two UK monitoring surveys, focused on birds and butterflies respectively, to help increase our understanding of the impacts of modern farming and climate change.
