With a rewarding career spanning more than 20 years, I have transitioned from a military leadership position in the Ministry of Defence to a corporate role, driving global strategic initiatives and change within BNY. Advancing to a senior leadership level, I demonstrate a robust awareness of key business administration functions and corporate strategy development, enabling organisations to achieve their goals and objectives across global territories.As a change agent, I was entrusted to deliver the strategic projects for the CEO of Pershing Securities Ltd and BNY Mellon subsidiary. Some of these included Middle East new market opportunities, EMEA legal entity restructuring, and response to the global pandemic as COVID-19 Pulse Meeting Coordinator. I foster collaboration between different functions, influencing key stakeholders and maximising engagement to achieve positive outcomes.Recognised for my ability to make things happen, I was acknowledged in the 2011 Queen’s Birthday Honours List for the work undertaken as the Regional Lead for UK Special Forces injury rehabilitation service. I am operationally astute, supporting top and bottom-line growth through cost efficiencies and improving financial positions. I stay calm in a crisis and get to the heart of a problem, mobilising resources to take corrective actions and implement resilient solutions.Well versed in presenting at board and C-suite level, I am an influential voice who drives effective decision-making. I value people, coaching and mentoring individuals to support progression. As a good listener, I gather all the required information and conduct intensive analysis, considering different factors, to determine the optimal strategic choice.Over the years, I have managed complex situations and used great judgement. I have handled intricate people-related M&A activities, mitigated business risks, safeguarded regulatory compliance and realised substantial cost savings. I am drawn to companies seeking to grow through the execution of strategic agendas and strong corporate governance.
