About Me

With over 15 years of senior leadership experience in risk management, compliance, and audit, I bring deep expertise in building and leading integrated risk and compliance functions within regulated financial institutions.

My leadership ensures proactive risk culture development, effective stakeholder communication—including with supervisory boards, regulators (e.g. DNB), and internal/external audit—and strong alignment between risk appetite and operational execution.
