About

I am an experienced risk management professional with over 20 years experience in financial services and 7 years in corporate treasury, including deep expertise across trading and treasury risk functions. My most recent role as a Trading Risk Manager saw me design and establish a new risk function - creating policies, building stakeholder confidence, and embedding a proactive risk culture. As an ACCA qualified professional, I bring financial discipline and insight to risk strategy and control frameworks. I have strong relationship building skills across front office, finance and regulatory stakeholders. I am experienced and comfortable leading high performance teams and am nearing completion of my diploma in Business and Executive Coaching. With a strong foundation in treasury operations and risk, I am now actively exploring new opportunities within Treasury Risk and broader Treasury functions- where I can apply both technical expertise and leadership proficiency to help organisations manage risk effectively and navigate regulatory expectations. I'm happy to connect if you are building strong risk or treasury capabilities and are looking for experienced leadership to support that journey.
