About Me

Specialising in governance, risk management, regulatory compliance, and operational transformation. I have successfully led organisations through complex regulatory environments, strengthened governance frameworks, and driven sustainable growth while prioritising consumer protection and financial inclusion. My extensive board-level experience includes serving as Chair of Trustees at Rooted Finance and as a member of the FCA’s Financial Services Consumer Panel, where I influenced policy to safeguard consumer interests and mitigate emerging risks. I am passionate about aligning strategic goals with ethical leadership and societal impact. In addition to my governance and risk experience, I have a strong background in financial education and coaching. I designed and delivered financial capability workshops, coaching programmes, and consultancy services that empowered individuals to improve their financial resilience. I have also advised organisations on implementing effective financial wellbeing strategies and communicated complex financial concepts in accessible ways.
