Senior finance professional with over 20 years’ experience in the industry having worked for global institutions including Citi, Deutsche Bank, State Street, Bank of New York, UBS and Northern Trust. In addition to the banking sector, I also enjoyed 5 years as a Project and Operations Manager of a travel and tour operating business.Currently I am leading a team of 55+ client service managers at Northern Trust, with responsibility for custody service delivery to asset managers including traditional asset managers, complex fund of hedge funds, and private wealth family offices; I have a genuine passion for finance and an insatiable drive to add value and target inefficiencies at every opportunity. I have strong people skills and thrive in a team environment where I can develop teams, build client relations, enhance client service offerings and add real value. Over the past 20 years I have built an exceptional understanding of all aspects of back, middle and front office flows and leverage this expertise to analyse challenging situations and deliver solutions. Key contributors to my success so far have been my ability to lead and persuade, a keen strategic vision and ability to communicate effectively at all levels of an organisation. My focus is to continue enhancing my knowledge base as industry and regulatory changes unfold. I intend to focus on adding value by reducing risk, driving out inefficiencies, streamlining processes through automation and leading by example.Specialities: Custody Manager, Client Onboarding, Transitions Manager, New Business Launches, Business Analyst, Change Management, Project Management, Prince 2, Subject Matter Expert, Client Relationships, Sales, Equities, Fixed Income, Money Markets, Unit Trust, Asset Servicing, Bloomberg, Settlements, Middle Office, Transfer Agency, Pricing & Investor Services, Large Scale Migrations
