I am the Head of KPMG's Client Assets Consulting practice, our specialist team that advises on the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Client Assets requirements, and have been with KPMG for 20 years. I am also the Client Lead Partner on several of KPMG's accounts in the Banking, Wealth Management and Trading Platform sectors.In my time at KPMG I've worked on a number of financial services audit, assurance and advisory projects, and have undertaken client secondments to a US investment bank and UK Financial Investments (part of HM Treasury). My main focus in the past ten years has been advising firms on compliance with the CASS requirements across the Banking, Asset Management, Platform and FinTech industries, bringing insight on KPMG's perspective of the FCA's expectations and the market's approach to emerging issues and challenges. I am currently helping a number of firms with regulatory change programmes to strengthen CASS compliance in conjunction with enhancing upstream operational processes to make these more efficient, cost-effective and scalable for growth.I love keeping active in my spare time, and am a regular on the football pitch as well as on my bike and paddleboard. I'm passionate about exploring different places and different cultures, and often combine my trips with hiking and scuba diving adventures.

Listed skills include Cass, Regulatory Filings, Governance, Regulatory Requirements, and 4 others.
