Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
I am a senior risk, compliance and assurance leader with more than three decades of experience helping banks, government agencies and regulated organisations operate safely, ethically and with confidence. My career has centred on strengthening governance, uplifting risk maturity and building resilient environments where people can perform at their best. I bring deep expertise across operational and technology risk, compliance, controls assurance, fraud and corruption control, and enterprise resilience — always with a focus on clarity, accountability and practical outcomes. Across banking and government, I’ve led major risk uplift programs, built frameworks from the ground up, improved audit results, and delivered capability uplift that sticks. I’m known for simplifying complexity, translating risk into business language, and bringing calm structure to high‑pressure situations. Whether guiding executives through incidents, embedding APRA‑aligned practices, or mentoring teams, I focus on enabling better decisions and stronger cultures. My work has consistently improved transparency, reduced operational exposure and strengthened organisational resilience. At my core, I’m a people‑centred leader who believes risk is ultimately about trust — trust in systems, trust in processes and trust in each other. I enjoy partnering with diverse stakeholders, solving problems collaboratively and helping organisations navigate uncertainty with confidence. I’m energised by environments where integrity matters, curiosity is valued and continuous improvement is part of the culture. I’m open to senior roles in risk, compliance, assurance, resilience and integrity where I can help build safer, stronger and more resilient organisations. Skills: 1. Operational Risk Management 2.
