UK regulatory & financial crime executive. Former regulator at the FSA & founding team, DFSA. Chief Compliance Officer & MLRO at Fintech, secured FCA authorisation. 30+ years across FCA, PRA & global banking. Trustee, CSF Leak Association charity.
What working with me means for you: you get someone who has sat on the regulator's side of the table, so I can help you anticipate what the FCA or PRA will actually ask, not just what a generic policy template covers. Whether you need to get through payment institution authorisation, fix a policy that isn't holding up to scrutiny, or manage a live regulatory relationship, I can give you practical, specific guidance rather than theory.
Over 30 years across both sides of financial regulation.
Regulator: FSA. Founding team, Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), building a new regulator's risk and authorisation processes from scratch.

Most recent: CCO and MLRO at a UK fintech. Secured FCA Payment Institution authorisation personally. Rebuilt the entire compliance and financial crime policy suite, around 30 policies, from the ground up.
