Fractional General Counsel

About Me

I am a General Counsel, Company Secretary and Non-Executive Director with over 15 years of experience at the intersection of international financial regulation, structured finance, and emerging technology — spanning FinTech, digital assets, and AI. My career has been built on one core capability: translating complex EU regulatory frameworks — MiCA, PSD2, MiFID II, BRRD, EMIR — into commercially viable, compliant growth strategies for regulated financial institutions and digital asset businesses. I have led multi-jurisdictional licensing programmes across France, the Netherlands, Germany, Singapore, Luxembourg, the USA, and Canada, and advised C-suites and boards on regulatory horizon scanning, strategic risk, and governance across the full spectrum of payments, crypto, and capital markets. Board & Governance Experience I bring formal board-level experience across regulated entities. I have served on the Supervisory Board of an ACPR authorised e-money institution and as a Board Member of a securitisation fund management company. As a Company Secretary across multiple regulated institutions, I have advised boards on corporate governance, regulatory strategy, and risk management across multiple jurisdictions.
