A highly accomplished Risk, Audit & Assurance, and Change professional with a proven track record of leading risk and assurance teams through mergers, transformations and a FTSE100 listing. My career journey has been marked by successful roles at Deloitte, Prudential, M&G and IQ-EQ. My professional background encompasses a wide range of financial services sectors, including life and pensions, asset management, fund administration, investment banking and retail financial services. As a qualified accountant, I bring a strong financial acumen to my roles and strong understanding of financial risk. I am a delivery-focused individual with a pragmatic approach, known for being a self-starter. Throughout my career, I have consistently designed and implemented successful operating models, systems, and process enhancements within support functions. My ability to drive these improvements has yielded operational excellence, contributing to the achievement of strategic objectives. My strengths extend beyond the technical aspects of my roles. I have consistently demonstrated robust stakeholder management and communication skills when engaging with Executives, Boards, and Regulators. My proficiency in building deep relationships and effective communication ensures a consistent approach to risk management and assurance delivery, promoting transparency and accountability at all levels. My career aspirations encompass roles such as Chief Internal Auditor and Chief Risk Officer, with a view to adding a number of Non-Executive appointments given my varied cross sector background.
