🔹 Do you have a Trade or Comms Surveillance program that needs a HealthCheck before the next audit or surprise regulatory visit?
🔹 Are you unsure how to get robust controls around unapproved channel use and devices?
🔹 Has the FCA's focus on expanded non-financial misconduct and the Diversity & Inclusion requirements left you with a gap you aren't resourced to fill?
🔹 Is 2025 the year for a surveillance platforms review, but eager to know what the market is doing and what really works?
🔹 Are you desperate to find that additional 10% of efficiencies again this year, however don't have the capacity in the team for an optimisation process?
I provide tailored consulting services and advice to financial services organisations in regulatory compliance, governance and controls frameworks and for non-financial misconduct management.
As a seasoned professional working across these and many other regulatory compliance topics, I can help.
From gap analysis and assessing gaps, to working with you on remediation plans, developing frameworks and providing QA on the solutions and implementation. I can work with your existing team, or provide that additional leadership resource you don't have in your BAU team.
Projects are scoped to meet your needs and provide the support, guidance and expertise you need.

With deep expertise in monitoring and surveillance in trade surveillance, e-communications surveillance and voice surveillance across Market Manipulation (and MAR regulation), Information Barriers, and Suitability regulations globally, I have a track record in successfully managing complex programs and change initiatives. I have experience leveraging compliance technology and establishing governance frameworks, best practice processes, procedures, and controls in Regulatory Compliance and Operational Risk.
With a unique combination of experience across HR, Compliance and Risk, I take a holistic view and approach to Culture & Conduct and non-financial risk matters in organisations.
In addition to my extensive monitoring and surveillance expertise, my background includes driving diversity and inclusion efforts, leading organisational change programs, implementing global culture and conduct initiatives, and providing executive and leadership coaching both as an internal and independent coach. I partner with organisations to navigate regulatory environments and build ethical, sustainable cultures, focused on long-term health and performance.
Over my career I have worked within major global investment banks and brokerage firms in Compliance, Operational Risk, and HR roles based in London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia. I now advise a range of financial services firms globally.
