What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values client service and offers opportunities for professional growth in financial services.

I am a dedicated financial services and dispute resolution professional with over 5 years of experience across various sectors, including motor insurance investigations and high-value mortgage consulting. My expertise lies in delivering fair, regulatory-compliant outcomes while ensuring exceptional client service. I pride myself on my strong analytical and decision-making skills, complemented by my empathetic communication style and collaborative mindset.

Currently, I lead impartial investigations into complex motor insurance complaints at the Financial Ombudsman Service, where I manage multiple live cases and consistently deliver well-reasoned decisions. My previous role as a High-Value Lending Advisor at Lloyds Banking Group allowed me to specialize in bespoke financial arrangements for high-net-worth clients, where I successfully navigated complex affordability structures and mitigated financial crime risks. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my 98% pass rate in internal quality checks and my ability to build rapport with clients, ensuring their satisfaction and trust.
