Mark Howard Email & Phone Number

I’m a results-driven Senior Business Analyst with 20 years of experience delivering complex, high-stakes projects across banking, financial services, regulatory compliance, risk management, capital markets, derivatives, operations, data and system implementation. My passion for travel has taught me to communicate with a diverse range of people and seek out opportunities, and this perspective has afforded me the chance of living and working in Asia, the UK, and Australia, where I’ve helped banks and financial services firms navigate the intricacies of financial regulation while improving operational performance.Whether it's leading internal audits, delivering assurance assessments, post implementation reviews, control framework development and evaluation, or system and process implementations across diverse financial regulatory frameworks, I’ve got a knack for turning complex problems into actionable and impactful recommendations for senior management and implementing compliant solutions. My strength lies in analysing complex business and regulatory challenges, and then crafting high-quality business requirements, data analysis, compliance plans, policies, controls, processes, process maps, and delivering technology solutions that not only boost operational efficiency but also reduce compliance risks. I have a strong understanding of the different SDLC delivery models (Waterfall, Agile and Hybrid) with the ability to manage teams of business analysts and SME's as well as manage and build relationships with clients and internal stakeholders.Committed to delivering results, I’m enthusiastic about partnering with technology, 1st and 2nd line risk functions and senior management to provide actionable insights that drive smarter decision-making, all while ensuring projects stay on track, within budget, and fully compliant.
