Global compliance leader with 18 years of hands-on experience across diverse sectors and jurisdictions. I design and implement practical, risk-based compliance programs that protect integrity, drive accountability, and align with international standards.
My expertise spans anti-bribery, AML/CFT, sanctions, whistleblowing, third-party risk, and internal investigations. I’ve led global initiatives to embed control frameworks (ISO 27001, ISO/IEC 22301), manage cross-border risks, and elevate ethical culture through targeted training and governance strategies.
Certified DPO (ICS) and member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, I combine legal rigour with operational agility to turn complex regulations into business enablers – not blockers.
Passionate about ethical leadership and cross-cultural collaboration, I help global teams navigate risk while staying resilient, compliant, and future-ready.
“The best in-house teams do not block innovation - they shape it, de-risk it, and help the organisation move faster with confidence.”
