About

Risk Governance professional with experience in enterprise risk governance, operational risk management, and governance framework development within the banking industry. I specialize in building governance frameworks, strengthening operational risk management, and facilitating executive governance through committees and stakeholder engagement. Beyond governance, I am passionate about embedding a strong risk culture across organizations through communication, education, and training. I believe effective risk management is not only about policies and controls, but also about creating awareness and empowering people to make better risk-informed decisions. Previously, I spent over 10 years in business planning and management, which has given me a strong understanding of how business strategy and risk governance can work together to support sustainable growth. I enjoy collaborating across functions, leading governance initiatives, and delivering practical solutions that strengthen organizational resilience.
