I was born in London (UK) and have spent the last decade in the US (Dallas and Denver, hot and cold). I love to read (in English and Spanish), travel (25+ countries and counting), cycle (10K+ miles in the last 3 years) and wake up before the crack of dawn to watch Premiership football or smoke brisket. I volunteer in the local community and try to better the world around me.I solve problems while building consensus through clear communication. I am always open to exploring new ideas and methods to enhance efficiency. The phrase "we've always done it like this" is never acceptable. Instead, I focus on improving processes and automating routine tasks to free up time for value-add analytics. My deep understanding of financial risk management and continuous pursuit of excellence in creating robust risk infrastructure fosters a culture of proactive risk mitigation.Learning is at the core of my professional journey. I constantly seek to expand my understanding of teams, processes, tools and new methodologies. This thirst for knowledge keeps me engaged and allows me to develop innovative solutions.I am self-directed and thrive when given the autonomy to apply my skills and creativity. This approach has enabled me to lead the development of comprehensive Risk Frameworks and GRC systems, integrating cross-functional data and streamlining processes across entities. My appreciation of the unique abilities of others has been instrumental in leading and mentoring diverse cross-functional teams, ensuring that every member feels empowered and valued.I aim to drive efficiency, success and resilience in any organisation I am part of. Always open to professional networking and collaboration. Let’s connect!
