Summary
An experienced Audit Manger and risk professional with over 15 years experience in Financial Services. I've lead teams, influenced change with senior stakeholders and worked across all lines of defence. I've built a reputation for pragmatism, effective root cause analysis of issues and clear and timely implementation of remedial actions.
I love trialling new ways of working using my natural curiosity and agile methods to innovate new approaches to tasks.
A passionate communicator, I love working with people. I coach and develop other colleagues, influence others and have frequently found myself front and centre of large training initiatives.
