How I work.
I work with Boards, senior leaders and organisations on issues that require clear judgement, structured thinking and an independent perspective.
My work focuses on risk, financial crime and compliance, particularly helping organisations to strengthen frameworks, enable decisions and improve how they operate.
Interim Leadership
I provide senior interim coverage for roles such as Chief Compliance Officer (SMF16), MLRO (SMF17) and broader risk and governance leadership positions.
I typically provide cover during periods of change, regulatory focus or leadership transition, bringing clarity, structure and continuity at pace.
Alongside providing cover, I focus on strengthening risk and control frameworks, optimising delivery and, where appropriate, re-shaping structures and teams to improve effectiveness and accountability

Strategic Projects
Support for organisations undertaking specific risk, compliance, financial crime or organisational design initiatives that need senior expertise and independent challenge.
Projects typically involve the design or review of frameworks, operating models, reporting, accountability structures or decision-making processes and are tailored to the needs of the organisation.
Engagements are outcome focused and structured around the delivery of a defined objective or piece of work.

1:1 Consultation Sessions
Focused, practical input on specific challenges, including designing or refining frameworks, shaping approaches to financial crime or compliance within product or proposition design, and assessing tools or solutions.
These sessions are typically used to work through real problems, test approaches or sense-check decisions, providing an independent and experienced perspective.
Sessions are structured, outcome-focused and designed to provide clarity on next steps rather than ongoing support.

Leadership Risk Workshops
Facilitated workshops with leadership teams to identify, assess and prioritise the risks that matter most to the organisation and its objectives.
These workshops are typically used to identify key organisational risks, evaluate existing controls, clarify accountability and support the development or refinement of risk frameworks.
Sessions are practical, discussion-led and tailored to the organisation, resulting in a documented output that can be used to support ongoing risk management activity.
