Michael Lawrie

Fractional Compliance, Investigations, and Governance Lead

About Me

Senior investigations, compliance operations, and online safety leader with deep experience in high-scrutiny public-facing environments. I help organisations build practical systems for sensitive investigations, complaints, escalation handling, evidence review, policy enforcement, legal and compliance liaison, and governance controls. My background includes leading safety and incident-response work for large online platforms, handling serious-harm cases, working with legal and compliance teams, supporting law-enforcement processes, developing policies and workflows, and improving documentation and decision quality. I am best suited to fractional or advisory work involving internal investigations, platform governance, compliance operations, risk controls, complaints systems, escalation frameworks, evidence-led decision-making, and reviewer or case-quality improvement. I am based in Canada and work remotely.
