About

I have been in banking for over 18 years and have spent approximately 10 years of this within financial crime. During this time, I have covered all strands of financial crime across a number of business lines including retail, business and large corporate banking as well as Consumer Finance, Trade Finance, Correspondent Banking and Treasury Services. I have previously held roles as Deputy MLRO and Nominated Officer for different organisations which has afforded me a holistic view of risks across the businesses and the controls required to mitigate or reduce these risks.

Key highlights of my career include visiting various banks around the world to understand the underlying financial crime frameworks for prospective correspondent banking relationships, including trips to Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe and Afghanistan. A further highlight has been the completion of the end-to-end implementation of a Transaction Monitoring system, from tender to go-live. Finally, obtaining a Legal Masters (LLM) in Financial Regulation and Compliance is another particular achievement of mine.
