About

I am an experienced Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Cyber Security and Identity Access Management (IAM), with over 15 years of proven leadership in implementing best practices for information security and application access in highly regulated financial services environments. I have developed a strong reputation for collaborating with stakeholders at all organisational levels, fostering robust relationships to facilitate the implementation of innovative and effective solutions to business challenges. My analytical approach focuses on delivering process improvements, cost optimisations, and operational efficiencies. My expertise spans the utilisation of third-party IAM tools such as Sailpoint, Oracle Identity Manager (OIM), and Aveksa, along with privileged access management solutions like CyberArk. I have delivered subject matter expertise in areas including recertification, Joiners Movers Leavers (JML) processes, toxic access management, and the implementation of SOX regulatory compliance standards. With nearly 30 years of banking experience, I have had the privilege of working with two of the largest financial organisations in the UK—HSBC and Lloyds Banking Group.
