About

I am a Non-Executive Director and senior executive with over 20 years’ experience in complex, highly regulated organisations, including roles as Chief Compliance Officer (SMF16) and Money Laundering Reporting Officer (SMF17).

I have operated at Board and Executive level, advising on risk, regulatory expectations and customer outcomes, and supporting clear, evidence-based decision-making. My experience spans governance, financial crime, data and organisational design, with a focus on improving visibility of risk and performance, and strengthening accountability.

I specialise in strengthening operating models, including structure, governance, risk frameworks, Board and executive reporting , and accountability..

Alongside my executive career, I am a Non-Executive Director and Vice Chair of a Risk, Audit and Finance Committee within a large multi-academy trust. I have contributed to the organisation’s growth as it has doubled in size, ensuring that governance, financial oversight and accountability have kept pace with that growth.

I also serve as Chair of a community charity addressing food poverty and social inclusion in the East Midlands, providing direct insight into the challenges faced by individuals and families, and the importance of stable housing and access to services.

I now work independently, providing advisory support to Boards and senior leaders, offering independent perspective on governance, risk, financial crime and organisational effectiveness.

I also undertake interim leadership roles where appropriate.
